How to Make Heirloom Tomato Salad

**Make the vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together the minced shallots, garlic, Dijon mustard, stone-ground mustard, honey, and red wine vinegar until well combined.
**Emulsify:** Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until the vinaigrette is emulsified and creamy.
**Prep the tomatoes:** Slice the larger heirloom tomatoes into thick slices. Quarter or chop smaller tomatoes to create a mix of sizes and textures.
**Assemble the salad:** Arrange the sliced and chopped tomatoes on a serving platter.
**Add goat cheese:** Crumble the goat cheese over the tomatoes.
**Garnish with thyme:** Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves generously over the salad.
**Dress & Serve:** Drizzle a small amount of the vinaigrette over the salad. Serve immediately or chill for a short time before serving (do not chill for extended periods). Reserve remaining vinaigrette for later use.
