Heirloom Tomato Salad With Crumbled Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Slice each large tomato crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange each variety of tomato in alternating colors in a circle around a serving platter, then place the baby tomatoes in the center.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes with the minced shallots, oil, vinegars, salt and pepper. Marinate the tomatoes 2 minutes, turn over and marinate 2 minutes on the other side.
• Crumble the goat cheese on top of the tomatoes and sprinkle the chopped basil. Season with gray sea salt. Wait 10 minutes before serving. (Do not refrigerate.)

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rub bread with cut garlic halves; brush bread with 3 tablespoons oil. Combine remaining 1/3 cup oil, currant tomatoes, and green onions in medium bowl; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Overlap tomato slices in concentric circles on platter, alternating colors. Scatter onion and celery slices over tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon tomato and green onion mixture over. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
• Grill bread until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Cut each slice diagonally in half; serve with salad.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk the vinegar and mustard together in a large bowl. Add the oils in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly, until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato wedges and gently toss to coat.
• Add the herbs and goat cheese and toss to coat. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide among chilled serving plates. Top with the greens. Serve immediately.
• microgreens
• Microgreens are the plant's first true leaves and are exceptionally tender. The young seedlings are harvested when less than fourteen days old, often with the stems attached. The tiny leaves are exact miniatures of how they would look if left to mature. They are often very intense in flavor. Common varieties include arugula, basil, beet, collard, mustard, daikon, chard, and celery. Microgreens are available at upscale and natural grocery stores such as Whole Foods and many farmer's markets.

Steps:

• Place salad greens in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, sugar and oregano until blended. Pour over salad greens; toss to coat. Transfer to a large platter. Arrange tomato slices over greens. Top with basil, pine nuts, onion and cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk basil, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl to make dressing.
• Arrange tomatoes and cucumbers in a serving dish. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with feta cheese.
