Fresh, delicious and so easy to make, that you can enjoy a light but satisfying lunch in 5 minutes. If Gorgonzola is way too strong for you, milder Scandinavian blues would be perfect for crumbling over the salad too.
- 3 Large tomatoes, sliced
- 1 tbsp Balsamic cream
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 12 Pitted black olives, cut into wedges
- 50 g Gorgonzola, crumbled
- 1 tbsp Pistachios, chopped (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves (or corn salad leaves)
- Arrange sliced tomatoes on a plate. Drizzle with balsamic cream and then olive oil.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Sprinkle with olives, crumbled Gorgonzola and if using, chopped pistachios. Garnish with basil or corn salad leaves.

This is a type of salad that I love. Simple and delicious :)
Simplicity is always a winner! Sadly though I would have to replace the cheese with something much milder.

What a refreshing salad. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of blue cheese. I would probably stick with bocconcini.
I love a simple tomato salad, and I love the flavors that you used in this one, Angie! I can practically taste it from here.... Mmmm.

Never had gorgonzola before but that salad does looks delicious!

What a delicious and colorful looking salad. I certainly would love eating this with some crusty bread and nice glass of red wine on the side :o)
A delicious combination, love the addition of gorgonzola.
What a colorful, tasty salad. Beautiful!
It looks so fresh and perfect :) love it!
Such a light, fresh & fabulous sounding salad!! Love the addition of pistachios :) xo
These look lovely! I have some delicious sweet tomatoes languishing in the fridge so I might just have to grab some blue cheese and make this delicious salad.
I also love gorgonzola, and this seems a lovely, healthy and tasty recipe!
I can't wait until my favorite heirloom tomatoes are back in season so that I can make this! Absolutely delicious. I love a good pungent cheese.
Oh it's good to see those lovely sliced tomatoes and yes I would love your salad for lunch:-)
Oh my gosh this looks SOOOOOOOO good! I don't even like tomatoes! Well done :)
By the way: POW! Have an award :) http://psdeepdish.blogspot.com/2011/04/honey-im-home.html
gorgeous!! I love tomato salads - I usually sprinkle it with feta, but will definitely try the gorgonzola next time around!
I love Gorgonzola on salads! The tomatoes look gorgeous, well the whole plate looks gorgeous!
That's a very pretty and gorgeous salad. You are a master in this, Angie :-)
Oh, Angie, this looks fabulous. Simple, flavorful...and just plain wonderful!
What a beautiful salad! I can't wait for "real" tomatoes from the garden! :)
Very very clever with the gorgonzola salad Angie and what a delightful alternate to caprese salad. Fab!

This is one of my fav salad! how colourful they look!

I don't think I've seen balsamic cream. I'll have to google it and see how to make it. Anything with gorganzola tops my list of favorites!

I have never braved gorgonzola before. Beautiful salad.
I love cheese and gorgonzola has a strong taste but so delicious.

It's like I can slide the whole platter onto some flatbread or dough for pizza! Simple nice salad.
Such perfect classic ingredients, but the outcome must've been heavenly! I love this recipe!
What a tasty sounding salad, love gorgonzola. Almost like a caprese salad with a lot of KICK!
You know, spring is here! Time to enjoy all the seasonal fresh vegetables. Your salad is so colorful, and oh, so temptingly delicious. I've made this kind of salad a lot, since I always have gorgonzola in my fridge, which I love so much. The crunchiness of the pistachio really accentuates this lovely salad!

This does look beautiful...and I love the addition of the pistachios. Thank you for sharing with me tonight. I'm in the need of some comfort...and you are one of the blogs I know I can turn to. I hope you have a great start to your week. Blessings and love.
This looks fantastic, Angie! All of my bf and my favorite flavors :).
Simple, colorful, fresh and I'm sure delicious! I love salads like this, especially in the spring/summer!
Craving this salad. Love the cheese as condiment vrs cheese overload.
