I prefer to make caprese with a mix of various cherry tomatoes - as many different types, and colors, as I can get my hands on at the time (in other words, whatever three to five different types of cherry tomatoes I'm growing that year) adds a variety of flavors right there. Cut tomatoes in half lenghtwise, for larger cherry tomatoes, quarter them. Other than that, about the same - mix with sliced/quartered small fresh mozzerella balls, basil (I tend to mix a few different types of fresh basil - thai, sweet, sacred, lemon, again, same as the tomatoes, whatever I'm growing that year), EVOO, balsamic vinegar (optional), salt & pepper. Sprinkle a tiny bit of chopped fresh rosemary on top (optional).

I'm going to have to try that tomato pie once more of my larger tomatoes come in. I had never heard of that before now. Thanks.

Fresh tomatoes with a little salt, fresh mozz, fresh basil and a drizzle of EVOO is a gift from God.
My next favorite raw veggie dish this time of year is:
chopped tomato
thin sliced and chopped fennel (stalks or bulb - I use a mandolin for the bulb)
minced red onion
coarse kosher salt
fresh lemon juice
Let sit at least an hour
I keep a very light touch with the salt and sometimes leave it out altogether and if you want to add pepper keep it light too. The three veggies and the lemon juice really make an amazing blend. Celery can make a good addition too.

It seriously is one of my favorite foods ever, but how could it not be? It has Bacon, Cheese and Mayo aka the holy trinity.
