I love the fruity taste of the mango dressing against the tanginess of the white onion in this salad. Best with grilled meat and fish.

Categories     brunch, easy, lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh, best-quality mozzarella (preferably buffalo milk)
4 medium heirloom tomatoes
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves only, some reserved for garnish
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Coarsely ground black pepper
High-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • While mozzarella is cold, slice it into 1/4-inch slices. Let it sit, loosely covered, to come to room temperature while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving them in a single layer on the cutting board as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt.
  • On a serving platter, arrange the mozzarella, tomato slices, and whole basil leaves so they overlap slightly. Pour any tomato juices from the cutting board over the dish. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper, and drizzle with plenty of oil. Top with reserved basil, and serve.

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings (1/2 cup dressing)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 green (unripe) mango
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, plus extra picked leaves for garnish
2 quarter-size coins peeled fresh ginger
1/2 Fresno chile (or 1 jalapeno pepper), seeded if desired, and chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon amber agave nectar or honey
4 assorted heirloom or vine-ripened red tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 ball fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (or 1 package mozzarella medallions)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Wrap the mango in aluminum foil, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast it for 1 hour, rotating halfway through. The mango should be soft. Remove the foil and let it cool.
  • When the mango is cool enough to handle with your hands, slice off the cheeks and scoop the flesh into a small food processor or blender. Repeat with the remaining mango, scooping as much flesh off as possible. Add the minced cilantro, ginger, chile, cumin, vinegar, olive oil and agave nectar. Blend until smooth and add a little water if the dressing is too thick.
  • Arrange the tomatoes and mozzarella on a platter and season them with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the mango dressing and a little extra olive oil. Top with some torn fresh cilantro and serve.
