Heirloom Tomatoes and Bleu Cheese are a magical combination. I wait all year for those indescribably delicious heirloom tomatoes. Yes, in this era of perpetual availability of all fruits and vegetables, there still is a special unique flavor to produce in its natural season. Tomatoes fall into this category. To me, there is nothing more delicious and satisfying than a perfectly ripe tomato. And, being a devotée of what’s often referred to as “stinky” cheese; the combination of Heirloom Tomatoes and Bleu Cheese is a favorite of mine.
My Mother used to eat tomatoes like people eat apples. In fact, tomatoes are a fruit! So whether you think of tomatoes as vegetables or fruit and cheese; you will love it!
My favorites are Jersey and heirloom tomatoes. Lately, I’ve found spectacular Italian Roma tomatoes- the egg shaped ones. They are so flavorful that very little needs to be done to make them shine. In this salad, I just add a little bleu cheese, olive oil, and sea salt and voila- magic happens.
