Stack Salad of Creole Tomatoes and Vidalia Onions with a Maytag Blue Cheese Dressing
Recipe adapted from Every Day Is a Party, by Emeril Lagasse, published by William Morrow, 1999
Show:  Emeril Live
Episode:  Emeril's Steakhouse (In Chicago)
1/2 pound Maytag blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
8 large Creole or beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
4 medium Vidalia onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
24 (3-inch by 1/4-inch rounds) toasted croutons
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt and black pepper. Using the back of a fork, mash the mixture together to form a thick paste. Drizzle in the oil, stirring continuously with the fork until the mixture is creamy. Add the buttermilk and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Season both sides of the tomatoes with salt and pepper. To serve, place a tomato in the center of each plate. Drizzle some of the dressing over the tomato. Place some of the sliced onions over the dressing. Place a crouton on top of the dressing. Repeat the above process with the remaining ingredients. Use four slices of tomatoes and 3 croutons for each salad. Garnish with parsley and serve.
