Titus Farms Heirloom Tomato Salad

One of County Lake, Illinois’ most famous and outstanding family farms, Titus Farms ceased commercial opperation following the 2006 season. The property is destined to become the new location of the Lake County Fairgrounds.

This recipe comes from our friend Debbie Titus. It uses delicious heirloom tomatoes, onions, basil and garlic grown on their property, and sold at their farm stand & farmers markets.

  • several {2 or 3} heirloom tomatoes cut up into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cupĀ Extra Virgin Olive Oil {medium to full bodied}
  • 1/8 cup Balsamic Vinegar {Aceto Balsamico de Modena or Traditionale}
  • 1/2 cup freshly chopped basil leaves
  • chopped sweet onion, optional
  • fresh mozzarella balls
  • salt & pepper to taste

Toss and Serve.
