In Alsace, a province in the northeastern part of France, this cheese salad is served as a (very hearty!) first course. The large amount of parsley used adds a fresh, green flavor that brings out the creaminess of the cheese. Once youÂ’ve tried it between two slices of bread, youÂ’ll never think of cheese sandwiches in the same way again.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. red wine or cider vinegar
- 1 Tbs. Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups grated Gruyere or Emmenthaler cheese (about 8 oz.)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 shallots, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 12 slices crusty bread
Preparation
Whisk together vinegar and mustard in medium bowl. Add oil and 2 Tbs. water, and whisk until combined. Stir in cheese, parsley and shallots, and toss until combined.
Spoon 1/3 cup cheese mixture onto each of 6 slices of bread. Garnish with lettuce and tomato, if desired, and top with remaining bread slices.
