Our little gem, the red currant tomato is known to show in many recipe toppings because of it’s no prep, no fuss readiness ability. But sometimes this sweet little tomato deserves the full spotlight all to himself like in our Red Currant Tomato & Strawberry Salad Towers. Sweet tiny red tomatoes paired with strawberries, then tossed in tangy aged balsamic. I don’t have your attention yet? Well put it on a bed of fresh whipped basil goat cheese and I’m sure I do now.
And the fun part of this recipe is the presentation. After forming the tomato and strawberry mixture, pack it into a small glass dish and place it on the bed of basil goat cheese. Serve with the glass still on it allowing your guests to do the honor of releasing their salad or do it yourself ahead of time. It always feels exciting to see how well you can get your salad to stay close to it bowl shape. Don’t worry if it falls slightly it only adds to its presentation, like snowflakes everyone will be slightly different.
