Time 21m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lemon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint red grape or cherry tomatoes, halved (preferably an heirloom variety such as Tommy Toe)
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved
3 stalks celery, cleaned, leaves removed and thinly sliced
6 scallions, white and tender green parts only, sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare the vinaigrette, just before use. Place the lemon in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the essential oils in the skin are released. Since the lemon will be hot coming from the microwave, you will need to set it aside briefly, until it cools just enough to handle.
  • Pour vinegar into a blender, turn it on, and then squeeze in lemon juice from the microwaved lemon. Leaving the blender running, add 1 at a time through the feed opening: garlic, mustard, chives, basil, and yogurt, and blend until smooth. While keeping the blender running, add oil through the feed opening in a slow stream.
  • Mix together tomatoes, celery, and scallions and toss with dressing.

I made this salad vegan by using olive oil instead of butter in the dressing, and by omitting the Parmesan cheese. It was still incredibly flavorful, and I loved the combination of sweet tomatoes and tangy dressing.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts in the dressing. It was still delicious! I'm so grateful that I was able to find a recipe for this salad that I could enjoy.

I love spicy food, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to my dressing. It gave the salad a nice little kick, and it really brought out the flavor of the tomatoes. If you like spicy food, I encourage you to try this salad with a little bit of cayenne

I added some crumbled goat cheese to my salad, and it was amazing! The creaminess of the cheese balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes, and it added a delicious savory flavor. I highly recommend trying this salad with goat cheese.
