An heirloom tomato salad

The thing I love the most about heirloom tomatoes is the colors. You get a range of yellows to purple to almost pink and sometimes greens. Plus it doesn't hurt that they are so full of flavor. 
This salad is great as a light lunch and really captures the flavors of the tomatoes. Plus, it also tastes really great with bread! I used Sea Salt Ciabatta from Whole Foods, but really any bread will taste great with this salad. And carbs schmarbs! Who's counting anyway!
