The essence of summer

Yesterday, the farmstand tomatoes and basil were too good to resist, so I bought much more than I needed. It was fun to see how dramatically different two dishes could be, made from the exact same ingredients.

This one contains tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil.

Can you eat too many native tomatoes this time of year? I can't. I just like them to look completely different.
