Tomato and cheese stacks from A Spicy Perspective are a simple no-cook meal.  Slices of juicy summer tomato are layered with cheese and herbs.  This recipe suggests using goat cheese but if you are looking for something  milder, fresh mozzarella is a great choice.  Drizzle some balsamic vinegar and olive oil over top and enjoy!
