SARASOTA'S ROASTED TOMATO, ONION AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Romaine -- This to me is key -- I rough chop the romaine (not a final chop for the salad) and place in a large bowl with ice water. Yes, ice cubes and water. I want it icy cold so the romaine is very crisp. Just 15 minutes or so as the vegetables roast. This gets the lettuce nice and crispy for the salad which to me really makes this salad the best. Once the vegetables are done, remove the lettuce and drain well, dry off with just paper towels, and chop further for the salad and set to the side in a large bowl to be dressed.
• Vegetables -- In a large bowl add the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Heat the oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, foil will work just fine as well. Add the vegetables to the baking of cookie sheet and cook 15-20 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and onions are slightly brown.
• Dressing -- As the vegetables cook, make the dressing. I like to use a small tupperware or small measuring cup. Just add all the ingredients, mix well, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium heat. DONE!
• Salad -- Just add the roasted warm vegetables to the chilled lettuce, warm dressing and the chilled olives and mix. Serve immediately.
• Serve with a baguette toasted with melted cheese and roasted garlic. A favorite. As I roasted the vegetables, I also roasted a few garlic cloves and then I spread the soft cloves on the bread and then topped with havarti cheese and bake until melted. What a simple nice side to the warm salad.

CURRIED TOMATO AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Using a 10-inch ceramic quiche pan or deep-dish glass pie plate, arrange tomato slices in an overlapping circular/spiral fashion. Tuck some of the sliced mushrooms between tomatoes and scatter the remaining on top. Sprinkle green onions evenly over the top. Set aside. Pour vinegar into a small saucepan, stir in brown sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, mix in lemongrass, cover and let steep until cooled to room temperature. Using a fine sieve, strain vinegar into a small bowl and discard lemongrass. Whisk the remaining dressing ingredients (except cilantro) into the vinegar until well blended. Gently stir in cilantro. Pour dressing over tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours. Just before serving, cut a small slit in the plastic wrap at pan edge, carefully tilt pan and partially drain off dressing. Sprinkle with chives and lemon zest and serve. NOTE: - on occasion, I have used red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half instead of sliced tomatoes and simply served in a clear glass salad bowl however, not as attractive - if you have access to heirloom tomatoes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, this salad has a real wow factor due to the jewel box effect and luscious flavours - for a tasty change, I have subbed Thai or holy basil (when available) for the cilantro
