Wash and dry all the tomatoes thoroughly.
Halve the cherry and yellow grape tomatoes and cut the heirloom tomatoes into wedges. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the bowl.
Tear the prosciutto slices into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the tomatoes and basil.
In a small bowl, prepare the balsamic dressing by combining the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully emulsified.
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a fresh, colorful side or light main dish.
