  1. This is about as good as it gets! Heirloom toms, homemade bleu cheese dressing, homemade mayo, fresh parsley from the garden! I replaced some of the whipping cream in the dressing with Bulgarian buttermilk and served the tomatoes over a bed of lettuce since this was our main course. I used Oregon's Rogue Creamery bleu cheese to make this dish extra extra special! I can only imagine what this would taste like with fresh basil! Thanks for posting!

  2. I love heirloom tomatoes! The creamy dressing and fresh parsley made them even more irresistable. I made this with ff half and half instead of the heavy cream and still got a thick, rich dressing. Thanx for sharing this!

I used fresh Heirloom tomatoes, Italian flat leaf parsley, and French tarragon from my garden, along with a lovely handcrafted Amish blue cheese.
