Tomato Salad with Parsley, Shallots and Garlic

October 17, 2015

This recipe is 100% inspired by my favorite French chef, Mimi Thorisson. Mimi’s cookbook, A Kitchen in France, takes my soul and imagination into her farmhouse in Medoc. I love this recipe.

I came upon this salad recipe, as I was adoring her life, cooking style and family, which she portrays beautifully in this cookbook.
This salad reminded me of a tomato salad my southern mother made often on Sunday. My mom’s recipe, included, cucumbers, onions, white vinegar, sugar and of course tomatoes. I love my mom’s salad, but this one is very delicate and just as refreshing as moms.
The garlic I added, gives the salad a nice bite to it. It’s definitely one to eat with love ones. Lol.
Enjoy and remember to Set the Table with Love.

Tomato Salad with Parsley, Shallots and Garlic

3 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup really good extra virgin olive oil
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large steak tomato, sliced 1/2 inch thick
A bunch of fresh parsley, leaves removed and finely chopped

Directions :
Whisk together the shallots, garlic, mustard, olive oil in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Thanks Mimi Thorisson. Love this recipe!!

● About Me

Hi, I am Lisa. I am learning every day how to love up on this beautiful gift of living, cherishing each moment as it comes. Especially because at 38 I was dying, and now I am 55 years old, I have gained a deeper appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. I’m married to my wonderful husband of 30 years, who not only supports me through thick and thin but has also selflessly served as my kidney donor, a true testament to his love and commitment. Together, we have raised two incredible kids, aged 38 and 25, and I delight in watching them thrive. Our family has expanded beautifully with two grandkids who fill our lives with joy, a lovely daughter-in-law who has seamlessly joined our family, and a grand fur baby who adds warmth to our home. Here you will find life, food, and how I set the table with love for myself, my friends, and my family, creating cherished memories around meals that go beyond nourishment. I hope it inspires you to love up on your life a bit more and encourage you to surround your table with love, laughter, and the people you hold dear. We get one go at this precious journey, so let’s make it something deliciously beautiful, savoring each bite along the way. Thanks for stopping by; your presence adds to the warmth of this shared experience.
