Green Tomato Salad With Russian Dressing image

This salad is inspired by one that Los Angeles-based chef Mark Peel serves at his wonderful restaurant, Campanile. Green tomatoes go well with Russian dressing. My version combines mayonnaise with yogurt, and if I don't make the mayonnaise myself, I always use Hellmann's (called Best in Western states) because it isn't sweet.

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large red beefsteak tomato, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt, preferably coarse sea salt or kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise or Best Foods Mayonnaise (they are the same product)
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, soaked for five minutes in cold water, drained, rinsed, and drained on paper towels optional
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 hardboiled egg, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Toss together the tomatoes, vinegar and olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Line an oval or round platter with the tomato slices, overlapping them slightly and sliding in a red tomato slice at regular intervals.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt and ketchup. Stir in the capers and red onion. Spoon the dressing over the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the parsley, garnish with hard-boiled egg wedges, and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used a Greek yogurt dressing instead. It was still delicious!

I added some chopped bacon to this salad, and it was amazing! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the salad.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a sweeter dressing.
