Food Recipes Salads Green Salads Swiss Cheese Crisp with Mixed Greens Be the first to rate & review! Terrific Green Salads By Bob Chambers Updated on March 29, 2015 Rate Print Share Yield: 4 Ingredients 1 pound plum tomatoes, cored and halved lengthwise 2 tablespoons minced shallots 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard Salt and freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh chives 6 assorted salad greens Directions Preheat the broiler. Set the tomatoes, cut side down, on a nonstick baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes. Remove the tomato skins and broil for another 2 minutes, or until just browned. Turn cut side up and broil for about 4 minutes, or until blackened. Transfer the tomatoes with any pan juices to a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the shallots, balsamic vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. In a small bowl, toss the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Sprinkle in an even layer in a large nonstick skillet to form an 8-inch disk. Cook over moderate heat, spooning off the fat, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully lift the crisp onto a paper towel-lined cookie sheet and blot dry. Stir the chives into the dressing. Toss the greens with 6 tablespoons of the dressing; reserve the remaining dressing for another salad. Arrange the salad on 4 plates and crumble the cheese crisp on top. Notes One Serving Calories 85 kcal, Protein 7 gm, Carbohydrate 5 gm, Cholesterol 14 mg, Total Fat 4.5 gm, Saturated Fat 2.8 gm.
