SIMPLE GREEN SALAD WITH HONEY TOMATO VINAIGRETTE



Simple Green Salad with Honey Tomato Vinaigrette image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ripe heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons honey
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound mixed greens (mesclun, endive, radicchio, butter lettuce)
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
1 wedge Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette: Roughly chop the tomatoes and mix with 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar. Let macerate for 10 minutes to get the juices running, and then use your hands to crush the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes in a fine mesh strainer set over a saucepot. Use a rubber spatula to press all the liquid out of the tomatoes. Discard the solids and save all the sweet juice.
  • Set the pot over medium heat and add the honey and garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes or so until you are left with about 1/2 cup worth of tomato juice.
  • Turn the heat off and add in the Dijon mustard. Then whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsification and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, add the greens and basil leaves. Pour over some of the vinaigrette to lightly coat the greens and gently toss. Shave some Parmesan over the top and finish with a few more cracks of fresh black pepper.

SIMPLE TOMATO HERB SALAD



Simple Tomato Herb Salad image

This is a basic tomato salad that's great with just about any summer meal. I must say all these measurements are a bit of a guess. I don't measure anything, but just drizzle the olive oil and vinegar in until it "looks right" and tastes good too! You need really fresh, juicy flavourful tomatoes to make this salad work. A bit of feta cheese is a nice addition.

REFRESHING, SIMPLE TOMATO SALAD FOR SUMMER



Refreshing, Simple Tomato Salad for Summer image

Nothing compares to a vine-ripened tomato with the season's sweet onions! Do try to make this very plain salad when tomatoes are at their best! This is a healthy family meal starter, or a side dish with grilled meats -- or an everyday summer delight. If made with inferior tomatoes and sharp onion, the result will not be as enjoyable. Dried basil is used on purpose, as it can be quite good and can be used liberally. Otherwise, finely chop fresh basil.

Provided by Zurie

Categories     Onions

Time 10m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 -4 tomatoes, large, ripe, pref. organic
1 onion, very large, sweet (Vidalia or Texas Grano, not a sharp onion)
2 teaspoons salt, freshly ground from sea salt crystals (use Maldon or Himalayan or Fleur de Sel, all of which is tastier than table salt)
1 -2 teaspoon pepper, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon dried basil

Steps:

  • Wash and dry tomatoes, do not peel.
  • Slice each in half, and then, with the flat sides on a wooden board, slice in the length and then across again -- into small chunks.
  • Slice and chop the onion in the same way.
  • Mix in a salad bowl.
  • Add the three flavourings and mix well.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and leave to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Eat as is -- to get that wonderful flavour of sunripened tomatoes and soft, sweet onion!
  • Or you can drizzle over some vinaigrette which is not acidic. (That will spoil the fresh, simple, down-home tastes).
