Ingredients
8 small ripe low-acid yellow, orange or red tomatoes
pinch of salt
pinch of sugar
2 tsp honey mustard
2 tbsp white or white wine vinegar
2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon, or 1/4 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cups mixed greens, such as mesclun salad mix
Instructions
Thinly slice tomatoes, then sprinkle with salt and sugar. Set aside at room temperature while continuing with recipe.
Whisk mustard with vinegar, tarragon and salt until blended. Continuing to whisk, slowly add oil, drop by drop at first, then in a thin stream until blended creamy. Taste, and if you like a very strong tarragon flavor, whisk in another 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) dried or 1 teaspoon (5 mL) fresh tarragon.
Wash and tear greens into bite-size pieces. Cover a serving platter with greens. Top with tomato slices. Drizzle with dressing.
