It is too hot for salads that need too much work. Here is a straightforward salad that is a whiz to make.
The essence is in great ingredients: summer sweet tomatoes, fresh organic lettuce and a small batch of goat's cheese. For this salad, I used Begum Victoria's soft pepper cheese, but you can use any soft cheese variety of soft or goat's cheese that you like.
This salad shouts summer, with fresh leaves that are crisp and light, sun-ripened cherry tomatoes fresh off the vine, both from Sadashivnagar Greens and a beautiful basil-infused vinaigrette. The salad plays with the sweet-tart from the tomatoes, acid from the herbed vinaigrette, and creaminess from the cheese. It is simple, elegant, and flavoured, making it the perfect summer salad.
Deborah Madison was one of the first chefs to embrace the farm-to-table movement when she opened her restaurant Greens, one I have dined at a few times. Her cookbooks are lovely, and this one, in particular, is amazing. Simple recipes that are loaded with flavour. Like me, you should get all her cookbooks; each is a masterpiece!
