Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tight head iceberg lettuce (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 ripe tomatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 4 1/2-ounce piece blue cheese (Danish, Stilton, Gorgonzola or Roquefort)
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
6 tablespoons canola or corn oil

Steps:

  • Discard any damaged outer leaves from the head of lettuce and cut it into 6 wedges. Core the tomatoes and cut each into six wedges.
  • Arrange a wedge of lettuce and three wedges of tomato on each of six salad plates. Crumble the cheese and sprinkle it over the lettuce and tomatoes on each plate.
  • Mix the mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar and oil in a bowl to make the dressing. (Don't worry if the ingredients separate; the mixture is not intended to be homogenized.) Spoon the dressing over the lettuce and tomatoes, and serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover blue cheese. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or steak.
