Add a photoIt is the beginning of Tomato season here. My beautiful heirloom tomatoes are just at the peak of perfection with a few each day sun ripened. Who would be able to resist walking out to their own personal garden and having a look to see what they will be eating that day. The list of ingredients is what I have picked today and a few staples. The cost is minimal, just time and love of seeing things grow.
Ingredients
- 1-2 Tomatoes ( Purple Cherokee is what I have today, but any will work.)
- 1-2 Peppers ( I have purple and spicy bells, both are very small peppers, if you like heat add a hot pepper to the mix)
- 1 Shallot
- 2 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
- 1 cups Baby Spinach
- 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1-2 sprigs Flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup cubed White bread.
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 cup Buttermilk
- a few Basil leaves
- 1 small clove Garlic.
- Kosher salt
- fresh ground Black pepper
- 1/8 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Prepare Croutons: Add pressed garlic to butter and melt, add 1/4 teaspoon or to taste of salt (if using salted butter omit), and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper. Toss with bread cubes. Place on a baking sheet, and bake 7 to 8 minutes. Just until lightly toasted. Remove from oven, and set aside.
- Thinly slice shallot put in vinegar and let stand while preparing other vegetables.
- Slice tomatoes and peppers. Chop Romaine lettuce. Arrange on two plates with spinach.
- Whisk in buttermilk, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon of pepper into shallot and vinegar. Pour small amount over vegetables. Serve any left on the side.
- Garnish with torn basil and parley leaves, Croutons and the rest of parmesan cheese.
