Sicilian Tomato Salad With Pecorino Vinaigrette
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced very thinly
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons finely grated aged pecorino
- pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 thick slices country white bread
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- kosher salt and black pepper, for sprinkling
- 2 ounces ricotta salata, grated
- Fire up your charcoal grill or preheat a gas one.
- Combine the cherry tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and oregano in a medium bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, the grated pecorino, and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Pour over the tomato mixture and toss to coat.
- Grill the slices of bread a minute or so on each side until handsomely charred. Rub the slices of bread with a smashed garlic clove, and drizzle both sides with olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- To assemble, place two slices of grilled bread in the bottom of two bowls. Spoon the tomato mixture on top of the bread slices and finish with the grated ricotta salata.
