A refreshing and delicious everyday salad with a mix of tomatoes and fourme d'ambert - one of France's oldest and most-prized cheeses, dressed with a simple truffle vinaigrette.
Fourme Ambert is a mild blue cheese that was traditionally made with raw cow's milk in Auvergne region of France. It is known for its narrow cylindrical shape and has delicate aromas and unique flavour. “Fourme” in French means “mould”, as in the container that is used to shape the cheese. A village called “Ambert” was the centre of production for Fourme d’Ambert Cheese.

Truffle Vinaigrette
  • 400 g A mix of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Red onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 Handful of fresh herbs, chopped (I used basil and flat parsley)
  • Salad greens of your choice
  • 100 g Fourme d'Ambert, cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp Truffle oil
  • 3 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 1/3 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  1. In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients to make a uniform dressing. Store in the fridge until ready for use.
  2. Rinse and dry cherry tomatoes. Slice them in half and place in a large bowl. Add in chopped red onion and fresh herbs. Add in half of the dressing and gently toss to combine.
  3. Place the leafy greens on a serving platter. Spoon the tomatoe salad over. Sprinkle the fourme d'ambert cubes on top. Serve with the remaining dressing.

I am still waiting for the prices of tomatoes to drop now that winter is over, but no such luck, sadly, even strawberries are crazy expensive here!

I adore all blue cheese so I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for this wonderful example. Great idea to use it in a salad and to take it to the next level with the truffle dressing!

Such a beautiful salad. Weather is so warm here and this salad becomes a perfect lunch. I have not tried truffle oil so far. Not sure but maybe i can use pumpkin seeds oil instead öf it.

I love the idea of pairing blue cheese with red ripe tomatoes! Fourme d'Ambert is new to me - I hope our market carries it!

Your salad looks so good. As the weather has been getting warmer, I seem to be craving more salads. I love cherry tomatoes in any salad.

Goodness!

There's me saying that I love all cheese and there's you naming and using a variety I have never come across before!

Just to make matters even worse, Blue cheeses are some of my favourites.

Your salad looks so colourful and I can smell those mixed aromas from here :)

I think we should call you the queen of salads as you always make such interesting ones. I've never thought to use my truffle oil in a salad dressing.

I don't think I've seen that cheese before but I do love blue cheese and gorgonzola. What a wonderful salad for fresh summer cherry tomatoes!
