Recipe: Heirloom Tomato Bread Salad

Good news – tomato season is coming in Colorado! I’ve already seem some tomatoes from Colorado farmers that were started in hot houses and I’m certain the sun-ripened-on-the-vine, mouthwatering, amazing ones aren’t far behind. I’ve come to love the variety of colors and flavors (not to mention unusual names) of heirloom tomatoes and this is a perfect recipe to use them in.
A simple tomato and bread salad makes a great summer side dish that can be served at room temperature. Use whatever kind of cheese appeals to you if you’re not a fan of feta or Gorgonzola, or leave out the cheese entirely. The more colors of tomatoes you pick, the prettier the salad is on the table.
