Bobby Flay - Stacked Tomato Salad
Today I made the Stacked Tomato Salad that I saw Bobby Flay make earlier this week. They were easy, tasty and looked fabulous. I give it an A for taste and presentation. These were perfect for today considering it was nearly 90 degrees. No cooking involved! I made the dressing according to his recipe (I did not put the basil in the dressing, I just layered it on the tomatos). I may have used a little more honey and mustard than Bobby did. The trick is - just keep testing and tweaking the amounts until it tastes good to you. I took a few different types of tomatoes (whichever ones looked good in the store) and used fresh mozzarella cheese. I left a few items out, however, when I made the black olive tapenade. I'm sure you would not be able to taste the anchovy fillets he threw in there, but I don't do anchovies. One day I will try them - today was not that day. His recipe also called for pine nuts but I didn't feel like buying them just for this. As it turned out, the tomatos were amazing without either one of those ingredients in the tapenade and I saved a few bucks too!
