OLIVES AND TOMATO SALAD



Olives and Tomato Salad image

This is something I have been making for a while. I finally figured out how to cut down on the brine taste so that I could taste the other ingredients as well. The addition of sugar was the answer.I tried omitting the brine, but then the salad wasn't as moist as I was hoping it would be and the tomato pieces turned mushy after a couple of days. If you are going to be eating the salad in one day, you can probably omit the brines altogether. The ingredients blend really well together and are quite tasty. Make this at least one hour before serving it to allow everything to meld together. To save money, slice the olives yourself. The amounts of the olives, green onions/scallions and tomato are approximate and depends on what size of each ingredient you use. This salad is versatile and will go with many things. The sodium content is probably high in this recipe so you will want to serve it with something that has less salt. Cook time is the refrigeration time. ..

Categories     Salad     Fish     Sauté

Yield 4 persons

Number Of Ingredients 17

Tomato butter sauce:
About 1/2 lb vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp freshly chopped basil
About 1/2 cup heavy cream
3-4 tbsp of unsalted butter, diced
Salmon and Salad:
4 salmon filets, 5-6 oz each, skinned
4 tbsp olive oil
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
2 tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and diced
1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 heads baby gem lettuce
3 tbsp classic vinaigrette
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Tomato Butter Sauce: Blend the tomatoes in a food processor with the vinegar, sugar and basil until smooth. Pass the puree through a sieve into a saucepan. Cook over a moderate heat for about 10 minutes until reduced by half. Mix in the cream and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the butter over low heat until you have a smooth and glossy sauce. Check for seasoning. Salmon and Salad: Rub both sides of the fillets with 1 tbsp of olive oil and set aside. Sauté briefly the cucumber, tomatoes, olives and parsley together in 1-2 tbsp olive oil. Season well and set aside. Quarter the gem lettuces lengthways and cut out the core. Heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based non-stick frying pan then sauté the lettuces with some seasoning for about 2 minutes. Once the leaves start to wilt, toss them in 2 tbsp vinaigrette. Transfer them to a warm plate and set aside. Heat a heavy based non-stick frying pan and when hot, add the salmon, skinned side down. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes. Season the fish as it cooks. Turn over and finish cooking the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. To serve, reheat the salad and toss in the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the salad into the middle of the serving plates and place the wilted lettuce on top. Rest the salmon on top and serve the sauce around.

WARM ENTREE SALAD OF TOMATO, ASPARAGUS, OLIVES, AND CANNELLINI -



Warm Entree Salad of Tomato, Asparagus, Olives, and Cannellini - image

If you think this sounds delicious from the ingredients alone, wait until you see it and taste it! There's a wonderful blend of flavors and textures. The colors? red tomatoes, pink shrimp, green aparagus, black olives, white beans, and shaved parmesan... The protein (shrimp) is really the supporting cast, while the salad is the star. You can easily make this with chicken or it might even succeed with tofu. Serve with some basmati rice and a simple green salad dressed with the same vinegar and oil.
