 Canned Tomatoes in the Salad
This afternoon I made a salad for lunch, but there were no tomatoes in the house. All those in the markets recently looked awful. I remembered that there were a few San Marzanos in the fridge, left over from a sauce, so it seemed like a good idea to try a couple of sliced canned tomatoes in the salad. Wow! what nice flavor, and the juice from the tomatoes mixed with the salad dressing gave the entire salad something of an "infused" tomato flavor. When some grated Reggiano was added, the whole salad just moved up the flavor tree a couple of notches.
So, has anyone else tried some salads with canned, whole tomatoes? Any suggestions for a tomato-based salad dressing? I'd like to explore this concept a little more.
