Best Vine Ripe Tomato Salad With Queso Fresco Cilantro And Serrano Recipes

RIPE TOMATO SALAD WITH SMOKED MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Carefully wash the arugula in several changes of water, being aware of the dense sand usually found on this green. Trim off and remove the stems. Dry the leaves in a salad spinner.
• Slice the smoked mozzarella into thin 1/8 inch slices. Slice the tomatoes as neatly and evenly as the cheese, 1/8 inch thick.
• Brush the bread with 2 tablespoons extra virgin oil and grill or toast under a broiler until crisp and golden. Encircle the outside edge of a serving platter with the crostini. Lay the clean arugula out in the center of the platter as a base for the salad.
• Combine the vinegar with the mustard in a small stainless steel bowl. Whisk together briskly while drizzling in the olive oil. Add the diced onion and combine.
• Carefully layer the slices of mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto and basil leaves around the greens. Drizzle vinaigrette over and around, sprinkle pine nuts and serve.

CILANTRO SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• In a salad bowl, combine all the salad ingredients. Add a little bit of the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side.

CILANTRO, AVOCADO, TOMATO, AND FETA SALAD
