Fresh Tomato Salad (3)
Tomatoes with Goat Cheese and Soy Sauce Vinaigrette
I saw this simple recipe in the Dallas Morning News this weekend. You slice 4 oz of Goat cheese and roll it in sesame seeds (white, black, or both). I didn't have any, so I just sprinkled on a few poppy seeds for presentation's sake. Slice the ripe tomatoes and drizzle with the vinaigrette (but not too much). I used some lovely vine ripened yellow tomatoes.
We also got the chance to eat at a fantastic restaurant Saturday night. Abacus has some wonderfully creative and tasty dishes including Lobster-Scallion “Shooters” with Red Chile and Coconut Sake. Served in sake glasses, these fried bits of lobster were incredibly tender. As the waiter said, "Sip, shoot, and chew."
Shooters!
The meal is divided into small and big plates. For a small plate I had a Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll. The wasabi I added cleared my sinuses nicely. For my big plate I had Wood Roasted Buffalo Tenderloin on Red Wine Butter with Black Truffle Whippers. This dish was incredible and after getting a taste of it, most at the table eyed my plate longingly throughout the meal.

It was only about 8-10 oz, but it was really amazing! I thought, "Jeremy would love this!"
