Ingredients
- 2 beefsteak tomato large, heirloom
- 1 red onion large, peeled
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbled
- 1 buffalo mozzarella sliced ball
- 4 romaine lettuce large leaves
- 2 tablespoons basil chiffonade, fresh
- balsamic vinaigrette
- salt coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper coarse and freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Start by slicing the tomatoes about ½” to ¾” thick.
- Peel and slice the onion about ¼” to ½” thick. The thicker they are, the more pungent the overall onion flavor will be.
- Place 1 large leaf of romaine lettuce down onto the serving plate.
- Next, layer while fanning out slices of tomatoes with slices of onions filling the center plate from top to bottom. I usually take the center part to the sliced onion to reduce some of those flavors.
- Add on crumbled blue cheese and fresh basil.
- Drizzle on the balsamic vinaigrette all over the dish.
- Tomato and Mozzarella Salad: Follow the same procedures as before, except add a slice of buffalo mozzarella after the slice of onion and before the slice of tomato throughout the entire dish. Serve it with chopped fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Keep the dressing separate, but you can make this up to 1 day ahead of time. I would also advise not slicing the tomatoes until you are ready to serve. Don’t season it either until ready to serve.
- How To Store: If you can keep the seasoning and vinaigrette separate, cover and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Any tomato will work for this recipe.
- You can also add fresh oregano leaves as a garnish to this dish.
- This salad is very filling, so one finished plate will indeed serve two people.
