Servings: 4 servings (about 2 slices per person)
Ingredients
- 2 Tomatoes I used 2 large beefsteak tomatoes for this recipe
- ½ Red onion
- ½ lb Prosciutto (sliced thin)
- ½ cup Crumbled bleu cheese
- ½ cup Candied walnuts
Sautéing Red Pepper
- 1 Red pepper
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 pinch Salt
Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup Balsamic
- ¾ cup Olive oil
- 1 large clove Garlic (fresh minced)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoon Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt *I use fine sea salt for this recipe
- ¼ teaspoon Ground pepper
Instructions
- Slice your red peppers into thin strips and sauté them over medium heat in olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Flip them occasionally, and wait until you see the red pepper browning on the edges. Remove them from the heat and set them aside.
- Slice your tomatoes into thick slices aim to get 3-4 slices out a large tomato.
- Place thick slices of tomato into a single layer on a plate/platter.
- Quickly sauté your prosciutto over medium heat. Just enough to warm the prosciutto and release its oils, so you get its heightened flavor.
- Top each of your tomatoes with 1 to 1 ½ slices of prosciutto folding it to fit on the tomato slice.
- Place sautéed red peppers around and layering them between and around the tomatoes and prosciutto.
- Thinly slice your onion and place (about 3) onion ringlets to each of your tomato/prosciutto slices.
- Add your crumbled bleu cheese and candied walnuts on top of the tomato, peppers, prosciutto and onion.
- Drizzle your delicious sweet balsamic vinaigrette dressing (recipe included below) over top and serve!
Sweet Balsamic Dressing
- Measure out the ingredients listed, combine them and whisk together until blended. Stir up dressing prior to pouring as the balsamic and olive oil may separate.
