Tomato and Caerphilly Salad

Caerphilly, originally a Welsh cheese, is now mostly made in the West Country.  It is soft and white with a mild, salty flavour.  With sun-ripened tomatoes and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, it makes a tasty and pretty salad.

Caerphilly cheese - 175g (6 oz)
Tomatoes - 4 medium
Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp
Natural yogurt - 150g (5 oz)
Mustard powder - pinch
Fresh mixed herbs such as chives, marjoram, parsley - 2 tbsp, chopped
Salt and pepper
Chopped fresh herbs - to garnish

METHOD

  1. Slice the cheese (do not worry if it crumbles) and the tomatoes.  Arrange on individual serving plates.
  2. Whisk together the oil, yogurt, mustard, herbs, salt and pepper until well blended.
  3. Spoon the dressing over the cheese and tomatoes, then serve garnished with chopped fresh herbs.
