EASY TOMATO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Easy Tomato Balsamic Vinaigrette image

I can't take credit for this recipe. A friend of mine who is a chef gave me this and I love it. Serve over grilled vegetables, fish and of course your favorite salad greens. One note, using a tube of the "double-concentrated" tomato paste really does make a big difference, as well as using an aged Balsamic. But I have made it with every day Balsamic and "standard" tomato paste and it still is pretty tasty. I think the rice vinegar is very important to use, and shouldn't be substituted in this recipe.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 4m

Yield 1/2 cup or 8-9 tablespoons, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon tomato paste (double-concentrated)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (a good quality vinegar is best if possible)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced shallot
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Just mix everything together and refrigerate until ready to use. I use a small tupperware container and shake all the ingredients. That way if you have leftovers, it is a great way to store them.
  • ENJOY!

HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD WITH FENNEL, RADISHES, RED ONION AND ARUGULA



Heirloom Tomato Salad With Fennel, Radishes, Red Onion and Arugula image

Provided by Suzanne Hamlin

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon toasted fennel seed
1 tablespoon toasted coriander seed
2 teaspoons whole white peppercorns
1 fennel bulb, cleaned, cored and julienned
1 medium red onion, julienned
12 French breakfast radishes, thinly sliced (these radishes, longer and milder than familiar round radishes, are sold at the Union Square Greenmarket)
Fine sea salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Dashes of balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup herb olive oil or plain extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pints tiny heirloom tomatoes (at least 3 kinds, like Sweet 100's, Sunburst or Yellow Gens)
1 minced shallot
10 basil leaves, shredded
1 yellow beefsteak tomato
1 red beefsteak tomato
2 bunches arugula, stemmed, washed and dried
3 to 4 tablespoons minced garlic
chives
6 double sprigs basil
1 baguette, optional

Steps:

  • With the side of a sharp heavy knife, or with a mortar and pestle, crush the fennel seed, coriander seed and peppercorns. Put the julienned fennel bulb, red onion and sliced radishes in a bowl and mix with half the spices. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, a dash of balsamic and a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Wash and dry the tiny heirloom tomatoes and add to the fennel mix, with the minced shallot and the basil. Adjust the seasoning again, adding more ground spices to taste. Toss together and chill.
  • Cut the yellow and red beefsteak tomatoes into 8 wedges each. Season with salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Set aside.
  • Toss the arugula with a little olive oil and place on a large platter. Transfer the fennel and tomato salad and all of its juices to the middle of the bed of arugula. Arrange the yellow and red beefsteak wedges around the salad. Sprinkle minced garlic chives over the whole salad. Garnish with double basil sprigs.
  • If using the baguette, cut into small slices, toast them if desired and arrange as a border around the salad.
