Delicious Tomato Vinaigrette Recipe for Salads and More

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup ripe tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes

    Chop the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

  2. Mix the Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Whisking vigorously helps emulsify the vinaigrette.
  3. Combine the Mixtures

    Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the chopped tomatoes and gently toss to combine.

    Let it sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Taste and Adjust

    Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

  5. Serve

    Transfer the tomato vinaigrette to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.

    This vinaigrette pairs well with grilled meats and salads.
