Preparation

  1. Step 1

    The night before serving, prepare the tomatoes: preheat the oven to its lowest setting, about 160 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes on a baking rack fitted on top of a baking sheet. Bake overnight, 6 to 8 hours, until the tomatoes are shriveled and partially dried. Remove from oven, and let cool. Thinly slice, drain juices and reserve.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk remaining olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine parsley, croutons, cheese and tomatoes. Slowly add dressing; toss until coated. Place a slice of ham on each of 4 plates; mound salad on top of each slice. Serve.
