Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for this delightful salad. Slice the plum tomato and mozzarella cheese into thin slices. Finely chop the red onion and sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.
-
Arrange Ingredients: Take four individual shallow flameproof dishes and arrange the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella in circles, alternating them to create a visually appealing presentation. Sprinkle the chopped red onion and sun-dried tomatoes evenly on top of the arranged tomatoes and mozzarella.
-
Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your broiler to high, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for optimal melting and browning of the cheese.
-
Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, and seasoning until well combined. This flavorful dressing will add a burst of tanginess and herbaceousness to the salad, enhancing its overall taste.
-
Drizzle Dressing: Once the dressing is ready, pour it evenly over the prepared salads in the flameproof dishes, ensuring each salad is generously coated with the delicious dressing.
-
Broil the Salads: Carefully place the salads under the hot broiler for 4-5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese starts to melt and turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on the salads to prevent them from burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
-
Serve: Once the mozzarella is perfectly melted and bubbly, remove the salads from the broiler. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the salads to add a hint of spiciness and depth of flavor. Garnish each salad with fresh herb sprigs for a touch of freshness and vibrancy.
-
Enjoy: Serve the Hot Tomato and Mozzarella Salad immediately while it’s still hot and gooey, allowing your guests to savor every delicious bite. Pair it with crusty bread or a light side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures in every mouthful!
