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.

- 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!
So colourful and beautiful tomato salad. We had a simple tomato and cucumber salad with toasted sesame dressing.
Delicious!
Beautiful and such a perfect summer meal!
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!

I absolutely love it this salad!!! I usually use tomatoes when I make a salad but it don't look so wonderful like this... Great job, Angie!
Oh my that is fabulous looking and so fresh and tasty!
That looks wonderful and would sure be great with garden fresh tomatoes!
colorful salad, perfect for summers.. lovely!
Our cherry tomato plants are growing like crazy! Hope to have some tomatoes in a few weeks. They'd be great in this -- lovely combo of flavors. Thanks!
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.
Definitely my kind of salad!
This salad is fabulous!....I would love to try that cheese...I love cheeses!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
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!
Yum
I love tomato salad ❤
This makes a prized salad! ;p
Angie,
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.
This salad looks colorful and pretty!
Yummy!
I am going to be on the lookout for that wonderful cheese so that I can make this delightful 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 :)
Looking lovely the salad, similar to what I made sometimes.
Quanto mi piacciono queste insalate!!!
That salad looks perfect! Thanks for sharing!
this look like the perfect summer dish. TRying to pronounce that name though.
we make this kind of salad sometimes, especially with a quite lot of tomatoes.
Have a nice day
I love bleu cheese in salads, and the truffle vinaigrette sounds wonderful!
Jenna
Delicious salad recipe thanks for sharing
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!
First time I heard of that cheese. I know I will love this as I am a huge fan of blue cheeses
This is so beautiful. I'm printing it to make for my girlfriend. She loves cheese, but is also a truffle freak! Thanks!
Simple, colorful and delicious!
Kisses Angie
