I believe you need to have an abundance of salad recipes to keep on hand so when called upon to "bring a salad" you don't arrive with lettuce and tomato on a plate. My clever niece Melinda brought this delicious summer salad to one of the many birthday "get togethers" we had recently.
Ingredients
3 plums
8 heirloom or black Russian tomatoes, cut into irregular shapes
100g (good quality) ricotta, crumbled
Basil leaves to garnish
Dressing
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt flakes
1/4 cu0 (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of ground white pepper
Method
For the dressing, simply combine all ingredients in a small screw cap jar and shake.
Slice the cheeks off the plums, then cut into wedges.
Place plums and tomatoes in a bowl, top with dressing and gently toss to combine.
To serve, arrange plum and tomato mixture onto a serving platter or large bowl, top with crumbled ricotta and garnish with torn basil leaves.
The flavours combine beautifully.
