Stacked Heirloom Tomatoes With Ricotta Salata Cream Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Greekgirrrl / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago Use a variety of heirloom tomato colors for the prettiest presentation.

Ingredients

6 (1-ounce) slices country peasant loaf bread

Cooking spray

1 garlic clove, halved

1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled ricotta salata cheese

1/2 cup (4 ounces) reduced-fat silken tofu

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

6 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices (about 3 1/4 pounds)

1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

Prepare grill or grill pan.

Place bread on grill rack or grill pan coated with cooking spray; grill 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from grill. Rub cut sides of halved garlic clove over one side of each bread slice. Set aside.

Combine cheese, tofu, water, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a blender; process until smooth.

Place one bread slice on each of 6 plates; divide tomato slices evenly among servings. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture on each serving; sprinkle evenly with basil and pepper.

I like the dressing made with the Ricotta Salata
and silken tofu with lemon, it adds zip to this stacked heirloom tomato recipe.
Thank you

I was just thinking I would go into the kitchen and make this with plain old mayo on top, but then I saw that the ricotta goes into the blender w/mayo making ingredients, so I take it the cream comes out smooth and amazing? looks like my tomato and mayo sandwiches just got a makeover!
Thanks!
