- 8 tomatoes
- 1 green pepper

Method
- Thinly slice 6 tomatoes and place them on 4 plates, overlapping slightly.
- Cut the blue cheese into thin slices and place on the tomato slices. Add 1/2 tbsp. olive oil to each plate and let marinate for 15 minutes in a cool place.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice in boiling salted water; drain and refresh under cold running water. Place in a bowl.
- Dice the 2 remaining tomatoes. Seed and dice the pepper. Mix the tomatoes and their juice, the peppers and the sliced cornichons into the rice.
- In a bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, pepper and yogurt. Pour the dressing onto the rice salad and mix well.
- Mold the rice salad in a container and turn it out onto the center of each carpaccio before serving for a more attractive presentation.
Dessert suggestion for a balanced meal: fruit yogurt and a half fresh mango.
