HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Start with the vinaigrette to give the flavors time to blend. In a small bowl, whisk together the shallots, garlic, both mustards, honey, and vinegar.
• Once the ingredients are fully combined, slowly pour in the olive oil while continuously mixing the vinaigrette to emulsify.
• Set aside the vinaigrette. Tip: You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; you won't need to use all of it for the recipe.
• Slice the larger heirloom tomatoes and quarter or chop the remaining tomatoes to create various sizes and textures on the plate. Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Tip: Never keep tomatoes in the refrigerator. Doing so will take away flavor and aroma from the tomato, and leave you with an inferior product. Instead, store tomatoes at room temperature.
• Hand crumble the goat cheese and dot the tomatoes.
• Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and sprinkle liberally over the platter.
• Spoon a small amount of the vinaigrette over the platter and serve.
