How to Make Contessa's Heirloom Tomatoes With Blue Cheese Dressing
- Core the tomatoes and cut large ones into thick slices; halve or quarter smaller ones.
- Arrange tomato slices attractively on a serving platter. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- **Make the dressing:** In a food processor, combine half of the crumbled Roquefort cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, and white wine vinegar. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Process until well combined but still slightly chunky. Do not over-process.
- Drizzle the blue cheese dressing evenly over the arranged tomatoes.
- Crumble the remaining Roquefort cheese over the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
