Celery, Toma and :?:

Anyone see yesterday's Today show? My wife, the Condiment Queen, got inspired by a recipe, and then forgot a key ingredient. It was a Piedmont based salad with celery, toma cheese, and a third (equal) ingredient. If you do not have the exact recipe, I'd take a good suggestion for a third ingredient as we now have in the bungalow, the cheese and the celery.

which cheese did you buy for 'Toma'? Toma is the word for round (as in cheese, as in tomme in french) and I noticed when searching for a recipe on the today show that they didn't specify which - and if you go here, you will see that there are many different kinds of Toma available - Toma Piemontese, for example.

I went to this website but couldn't find the recipe you were looking for (I was very very curious).

Interesting points. We were at the great Joseph's Italian deli on the far NW side of Chicago yesterday, and we actually picked up to toma's. One was aged and tastes a bit like a mild provolone; the other is a fresh cheese and we have not opened it.

Yea, I already checked out the Today show web site. The only thing I wonder, is perhaps there is a lag time between the show and when they publish the recipes, because it seemed like there are no recipes from yesterday.

Was it walnuts?

Tomato?

No, but the suggestion prompted Ms. VI to remember the answer:

hazelnuts (yea, obvious now, huh, very Piedmontese, no?)

Glad I could help at least a little bit

If you track down a full recipe, I'd love to see it.
