Tomato Salad

This was just chunks of tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil tossed with a little bit of salt, but the tomatoes and basil came from a cool, fresh morning at the farmers' market so they tasted great. (We also got blueberries, peaches and what I can only assume will be the last of the strawberries, plus zucchini and white baby eggplant.)

We took it on a picnic to Storm King Art Center, which is a big natural park with sculptures scattered throughout. It would've been a perfect day had it been 10 degrees cooler (but it was still really nice). We also had sandwiches (either pepperoni or ham with provolone and arugula), cantaloupe, strawberries and some cookies for dessert. Pretty basic. I sopped up the juices from the salad with some bread: so tomatoey, more so even than the salad itself.

Storm King's a great day trip, a fun place for a picnic with a few really interesting sculptures (and a lot of stuff that seems like nonsense to me). It's just past West Point in the Hudson River Valley.
