Gorgonzola-Tomato Salad image

This is wonderful when you can grab your tomatoes straight off the plant....Simple and easy. I suggest you only use fresh parsley and basil for this. Prep time does not include the 30 minutes the cheese spends in the freezer :)

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces gorgonzola cheese

6 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, but I decided to give this salad a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The gorgonzola was not overpowering at all, and it actually complemented the tomatoes and walnuts really well.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a hit at parties. I love the way the colors of the tomatoes and gorgonzola look together.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of dressing next time.

I've never been a fan of tomato salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of tomatoes, gorgonzola, and walnuts is perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It was so good! I will definitely be making it again.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some fresh herbs next time.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a balsamic vinaigrette dressing and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is delicious! I made it for lunch today and it was the perfect light and refreshing meal. I used a mix of cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes, and I added a few slices of avocado. It was so good!

This salad was a huge hit at my dinner party last night! The combination of sweet tomatoes, tangy gorgonzola, and crunchy walnuts was perfect.
