Heirloom tomatoes are sliced and drizzled with toppings that hit the notes of a Bloody Mary in this game-changing salad. Lemon juice and Worcestershire are whisked with oil for the dressing, and celery seeds and fresh horseradish get sprinkled on before serving. A dash of aquavit, a spiced Norwegian liquor, or vodka gives the salad more complexity, but it's just as delicious virgin.
