Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (3 cloves)
2 anchovy fillets, drained
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, at room temperature (2 to 3 lemons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
4 to 5 large, firm, ripe red summer tomatoes, preferably heirloom
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1/4 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
2-ounce chunk of Italian Parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Place the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 15 seconds. Combine the olive and canola oils in a glass measuring cup. With the food processor running, slowly pour the oils in a thin stream down the feed tube, as you would to make mayonnaise. Add the grated Parmesan and pulse to combine. The mixture will be thin enough to drizzle on the tomatoes.
  • Pour a puddle of dressing in the middle of 4 dinner plates. Core the tomatoes and slice crosswise with a serrated knife about 3/8 inch thick. Arrange overlapping slices of tomatoes decoratively on the plates. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and drizzle more dressing onto the tomatoes with a tablespoon. Sprinkle with the capers, basil, shaved Parmesan, and pepper. Serve at room temperature with a pitcher of extra dressing on the side.

CHEESE AND TOMATO SALAD

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes (regular or plum)
1 cucumber (about 1/2 pound), peeled, cut in half lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 to 2 onions (about 8 ounces total), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks about 1/2 inch thick by 1 1/2 inches long
1/2 cup shredded basil
1/4 cup chopped chives or parsley
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional), seeded and chopped fine (about 1 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut tomatoes in half crosswise and gently squeeze out seeds. Cut seeded tomatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place chopped onion in a sieve and wash under cold water to remove some of the sulfuric acid compound, which tends to make the onions discolor and is strong-smelling and irritating to the eyes. Drain thoroughly.
  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients, stirring well. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed. An hour or so before serving, remove from the refrigerator so the salad is cool, not cold, when eaten. Serve with a crunchy French bread.

  • Use fresh herbs. Herbs add a lot of flavor to this salad. If you can, use fresh herbs from your garden or a local farmer's market.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. You want the flavors of the tomatoes and cheese to shine through.
