SALAD WITH ANCHOVY-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Anchovies add a salty depth of flavor to this bright, garlicky salad dressing. Here it's tossed with radicchio and arugula, but it will work on any full-flavored salad greens. Try it on frisée, spinach or raw baby kale. If you want to make this in a blender, double the quantities so the dressing emulsifies properly. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD WITH ROSEMARY
During the summertime, farmers markets have a great selection of heirloom tomatoes for a reasonable price. This is great as a cold salad, or for a different twist, grill straight on the BBQ for a warm but fresh side dish.

Steps:
- Start with the vinaigrette to give the flavors time to blend. In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, garlic, both mustards, honey, and vinegar.
- Once the ingredients are fully combined, slowly pour in the olive oil while continuously mixing the vinaigrette to emulsify.
- Set aside the vinaigrette. Tip: You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; you won't need to use all of it for the recipe.
- Slice the larger heirloom tomatoes and quarter or chop the remaining tomatoes to create various sizes and textures on the plate. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Tip: Never keep tomatoes in the refrigerator. Doing so will take away flavor and aroma from the tomato, and leave you with an inferior product. Instead, store tomatoes at room temperature.
- Hand crumble the goat cheese and dot the tomatoes.
- Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and sprinkle liberally over the platter.
- Spoon a small amount of the vinaigrette over the platter and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the ripest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find. Look for tomatoes that are deep in color and have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Use a variety of heirloom tomatoes to create a more complex and interesting flavor profile. Try using a mix of red, yellow, orange, and purple tomatoes.
- Handle the tomatoes gently to avoid bruising them. Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes into even slices.
- Make the anchovy vinaigrette ahead of time so that the flavors have a chance to meld. You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the salad immediately after it is assembled. The tomatoes will start to release their juices and the salad will become watery if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This heirloom tomato salad with anchovy vinaigrette is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for summer. The sweet and juicy tomatoes are complemented by the salty and savory anchovy vinaigrette. This salad is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer produce.
