One of my very favourite Tomato Salads! Ingredients:
8 ripe tomatoes |
6 -8 slices ricotta cheese |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
4 spring onions |
1 sprig fresh basil (or1/4 tsp dried) |
8 anchovies, drained and rinsed |
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, crushed |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
12 black olives |
Directions:
1. Slice tomatoes thinly using a very sharp knife.
2. Place ricotta slices at intervals on a flat dish cover with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with sugar.
3. Wash, peel and thinly slice spring onions.
4. Scatter over tomatoes.
5. Fresh basil leaves and sprinkle over salad.
6. (If this is not available, include dried basil in the dressing.) Mix anchovies, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and black pepper in a blender or use an electric hand mixer.
7. Blend until smooth and creamy, drizzle over tomatoes and scatter with black olives fresh basil leaves.
