HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD



Heirloom Tomato Salad image

Multi-variety heirloom tomato salad with fresh thyme, goat cheese, and stone ground mustard vinaigrette.

Provided by JuliasKitchen

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 platter, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs heirloom tomatoes, of various colors and sizes
1/4 cup fresh goat cheese
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 large shallot, minced
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons stone ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar (you can also use red wine vinegar as a substitute for sherry vinegar)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Start with the vinaigrette to give the flavors time to blend. In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, garlic, both mustards, honey, and vinegar.
  • Once the ingredients are fully combined, slowly pour in the olive oil while continuously mixing the vinaigrette to emulsify.
  • Set aside the vinaigrette. Tip: You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; you won't need to use all of it for the recipe.
  • Slice the larger heirloom tomatoes and quarter or chop the remaining tomatoes to create various sizes and textures on the plate. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Tip: Never keep tomatoes in the refrigerator. Doing so will take away flavor and aroma from the tomato, and leave you with an inferior product. Instead, store tomatoes at room temperature.
  • Hand crumble the goat cheese and dot the tomatoes.
  • Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and sprinkle liberally over the platter.
  • Spoon a small amount of the vinaigrette over the platter and serve.
