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 :)

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

Steps:

  • Place the cheese in the freezer for 30 minutes. (Makes it easier to grate).
