Heirloom Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese and Basil

How often do you read a menu nowadays and feel like its written in a foreign language? What about heirloom? Like “family heirloom” you say? Sort of. Just as a family heirloom is a treasure passed down over generations, so too is an heirloom plant a fruit or vegetable from a historic, non-hybrid strain not used in current large-scale single-strain agriculture. Heirloom tomatoes are touted to have superior flavor and unusual coloration, the two traits which I suppose should justify their stunning price markup. The idea of preserving historic species is all very well and good, but often only the novel colors served to distinguish from your every day fresh commercial grade variety.
