TOMATO SALAD WITH ANCHOVY TOASTS
Tomato salads are the ultimate summertime food. Ripe and sweet, tomatoes need little more than a good vinaigrette dressing. This salad has a niçoise bent, with anchovy toast and black olives.

CRUNCHY TOMATO, PEPPER AND ANCHOVY TOASTS
There are so many anchovies to choose from at the supermarket. I always aim for the ones in a glass jar or in any packaging where I can actually see the fillets. I look for pristine, firm fillets, with their silvery skin or without, that look like an invitation to eat! For this recipe, I like the pure taste of fish simply packed in a neutral oil or olive oil and without excessive herbs or spices. Piquillo means 'little beak' in Spanish. Named for their shape, these peppers are sweet and come fire-roasted and peeled. The result? A luscious ready-to-eat red pepper with great texture. I like to put the cold, straight-from-the-fridge anchovies on the warm toast for a temperature contrast.

Steps:
- Prepare the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, parsley, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the oil from the jar of anchovies. Add the piquillo peppers, tomato and red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette, and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours (refrigerated).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare the toasts: Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a sheet pan, brush them with olive oil and toast them in the oven until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the slices over and toast for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until they are dry and crunchy.
- Serve: Spread the butter on the toasts, top each toast with the marinated peppers and tomatoes. Add 2 anchovy fillets on top, and drizzle with more vinaigrette. Season with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
CROSTINI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND ANCHOVY
These little toasts are simple to assemble, especially if you have sun-dried tomatoes and anchovies on hand, and are a great snack to have with drinks. This makes eight crostini, enough for four polite diners to have two each before dinner. Scale up if your crowd is a bit more ravenous.

Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Use vine-ripened or heirloom tomatoes for the best taste. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a light touch when stirring: Be gentle when stirring the tomatoes so that you don't break them up.
- Season the tomatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve immediately: Tomato salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
