Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the tomatoes and cucumbers under cold water. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and the cucumbers into thin slices. Combine them in a large bowl.

Sherry Vinaigrette

  1. 2

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sherry vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Crispy Shallots

  1. 3

    Fry the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots. In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced shallots and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the sherry vinaigrette over the tomato and cucumber mixture and toss gently to coat. Top with crispy shallots and garnish with lemon balm leaves before serving.
