heirloom tomato and arugula salad with a chive lemon cream.

3-4 small heirloom tomatoes, cut into various sized pieces

1 small handful arugula or mixed baby greens, cleaned

1/2 lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon lemon zest and a little more for garnish

1/4 cup creme fraiche

buttermilk, just enough to loosen the creme fraiche

2 tablespoons chive, finely chopped

salt and pepper, TT

In a mixing bowl combine creme fraiche, lemon juice, buttermilk, lemon zest and chives. Whisk until smooth, if too thick add another splash of buttermilk. If too thin, add a bit more creme fraiche. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss tomatoes and greens with just enough dressing to coat the leaves garnish with reserved lemon zest and serve.
