Preparation Steps

    Wash the heirloom tomatoes and slice them into wedges. Rinse the dandelion greens and pat dry. If the speck is not already crispy, cook it in a pan until crispy and set aside.

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced heirloom tomatoes and dandelion greens. Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the top and toss gently to coat.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cheese and Speck

    Top the salad with dollops of stracciatella cheese and sprinkle the crispy speck over the salad.

  5. 5
