Heirloom worth keeping!

This is an easy and super-tasty summer salad. Spend a little on some Heirloom tomatoes and you'll be rewarded! Amounts vary depending on how many servings you need.
Cut tomatoes into wedges or pieces. Place in bowl.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In another bowl whisk together olive oil,balsamic vinegar,and minced shallots. (2 to 1 ratio with oil to vinegar.)
Pour half of the oil mixture over tomatoes tossing gently to coat. Then allow tomatoes to marinate 20 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Keep tomato bowl at room temperature.
Add torn or chopped arugula pieces to tomato bowl. Pour remaining oil mix over tomato/lettuce mix and serve.
