Add some extra crunch with Yemenite Ja'ala

Yemenite Ja'ala is a delicious mix of nuts and seeds, coated with spices and roasted until crunchy and flavorful. Making it couldn't be easier.

Simply dump a variety of nuts and seeds in a bowl, add some spices, olive oil and boiling water, spread it onto a pan, and pop it in the oven to roast.

Ja’ala makes a delicious, healthy grab-and-go snack, is a delightful addition to a charcuterie plate or cheese board, and is one of my favorite ways to top a salad.

Description

This Fresh Tomato Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette is a delicious accompaniment to all variety of dishes, but especially good alongside Skillet Cod with Creamy Corn Relish.


Ingredients

For the Bacon Vinaigrette:

  • 4 oz thick cut bacon (about 4 or 5 slices)
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the salad:

  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 4 cups of summer greens - I prefer spinach, frisée, or endive
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Make the bacon vinaigrette:

  1. Slice the bacon into 1-inch pieces. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is crisp. Remove the skillet from the heat. Use a slotted spoon to more the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. In a medium size bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat. Add the vinegar, dijon, and sugar and stir to combine. Pour the olive oil into the dressing in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly, to create an emulsion. Add about ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Whisk to combine, taste and add more if you like.

Make the Salad:

  1. Wash the tomatoes and remove the stem and core. Slice them into large chunks and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  2. Put the greens in a bowl, or distribute amongst serving plates. Top with tomatoes. Drizzle with bacon vinaigrette and top with the pieces of crispy bacon.
