Ingredients

1 (1-inch-long) piece baguette, crust discarded

2 garlic cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 hard-boiled eggs, yolks and whites separated

2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar (preferably "reserva")

1/4 cup mild extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Andalusian hojiblanca)

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 lb ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch dice

2 oz (1/4-inch-thick) slices serrano ham or prosciutto , cut into 1/4-inch dice

Preparation

Step 1
Soak bread in 1/4 cup water 1 minute, then squeeze dry, discarding soaking water.
Step 2
Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash to a paste with a large knife). Mash garlic paste with bread, yolks, and vinegar using mortar and pestle until smooth (or blend together in a mini food processor). Add oil in a slow stream while stirring constantly (or with motor running) to form a thick sauce. Stir in black pepper.
Step 3
Finely chop egg whites. Divide sauce among 4 salad plates and sprinkle with whites. Scatter tomatoes over whites and season with salt, then sprinkle with bell pepper and ham.
