Heirloom Tomato Salad with Crumbled Goat Cheese image

Either way, now is when I look for ways to make our heirloom tomatoes the star of any dish I use them in. That's the case with this dish. The tomatoes were firm and sweet, with just the hint of acidity from the lemon juice, countered by the tang of onion and the creaminess of the dressing and goat cheese crumbles. Nancy and I both went back for seconds and she finished off the leftovers the next day before I could even get home!

I love the combination of flavors and textures in this salad. The tomatoes are sweet and juicy, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the balsamic vinegar adds a nice acidity.

I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese, but it was surprisingly good in this salad. The flavors all came together really nicely.

This heirloom tomato salad was bursting with flavor! The goat cheese added a creamy richness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes. I'll definitely be making this again!
