Last night I made this salad and once again, it was such a hit that I have to repost this recipe.
You can find the original tomato salad recipe at Epicurous.com)
Blue Cheese and Tomato Salad

- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 10 medium heirloom tomatoes of assorted colors, cored, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced paper-thin

- 1 1/2 cups coarsely crumbled blue cheese
Combine 1/3 cup oil, cherry or grape tomatoes, and green onions in medium bowl; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Overlap tomato slices in concentric circles on platter, alternating colors. Scatter onion and celery slices over tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon tomato and green onion mixture over. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
