\"\"This is the height of summer time tomato crops in back yard gardens, decks and patio containers across the Americas. We got a hold of some fresh backyard garden tomatoes and I immediately put together this summertime tomato salad using some fresh basil from our herb garden. Tomatoes pare well with soft cheese and fresh basil like a match made in heaven, well a match made in my kitchen too! This is a really quick recipe, on takes about 5 or 10 minutes to prepare and it is a great cool side dish to any meal. We ate this along side some roasted lemon and herb chicken leg quarters last night.<\/p>\n
