Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 2 shallots
- 1 cup pistachios
Burnt Honey Vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fennel
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Instructions
- 1Gather all ingredients and equipment: a small saucepan, a whisk, a large mixing bowl, and a serving platter.
- 2Slice the medium tomatoes into even wedges or rounds, about 1/4‑inch thick, and set aside.
- 3Peel the shallots, then place them in a bowl of ice‑water for 5 minutes to mellow their bite; drain and pat dry.
- 4In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and fennel; stir constantly.
- 5Cook the honey‑fennel mixture until it reaches a deep amber color and the fennel becomes fragrant, about 2–3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
- 6Remove the pan from heat and immediately whisk in the red wine vinegar; the mixture will bubble—whisk until smooth.
- 7Transfer the vinaigrette to a small bowl and let it cool for 2–3 minutes so it thickens slightly but remains pourable.
- 8Place the sliced tomatoes and the ice‑water‑soaked shallots in a large bowl; toss gently to combine.
- 9Drizzle the warm vinaigrette over the tomato‑shallot mixture; toss gently again to coat all pieces evenly.
- 10Add the pounded pistachios, reserving about 2 tablespoons for garnish; give the salad one final toss.
- 11Plate the salad on a serving platter, sprinkle the reserved pistachios on top for extra crunch, and serve immediately.
