CREAMY TOMATO-HERB SALAD DRESSING
If you create a wonderful, fresh salad then I believe that you should have a fantastic dressing to go on it! It takes no time at all and tastes SO much better and is much healthier than the bottled stuff. The herbs can be changed to suit your taste; I like the sweetish combination of the tarragon and basil, but this works well with thyme too. The sour cream can be replaced by plain yogurt or even buttermilk. Prep time is for the combined ingredients getting to know each other better in the fridge!

CREAMY FRESH HERB SALAD DRESSING
I started an herb garden this spring and made cuttings to get the plants more sun. Thus, I had to quickly find a way to use the fresh herbs, or freeze them. This dressing works great with salad greens, and if you are like me, you are not beneath looking for a snack in the middle of the night, armed with saltine crackers to dip into something.

HERBY TOMATO SALAD WITH TAMARIND-MAPLE DRESSING
Collect the juiciest, ripest tomatoes you can find for this salad (the sweeter and fruitier, the better), which is amplified by an herby, piquant dressing. Start with cilantro, scallions, and Thai basil; perilla leaves lend a grassy, aniseed note. You can find them at Asian grocery stores or greenmarkets, but, if they're unavailable, substitute shiso or mint. Tamarind is very sour, too tart to enjoy on its own, but paired with a sweetener, such as maple syrup, honey or brown sugar, it sings with citrusy, smokey notes. Don't be afraid to add more maple, chile, salt or vinegar until you strike that harmonious sweet-sour balance. And, two final notes: If you're looking for a heartier salad, add 2 cups of cooked grains, like farro or quinoa, and feel free to use store-bought crispy fried shallots if tight on time.

Steps:
- Start the salad: Cut the tomatoes into different shapes - this creates different textures and visual interest - and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with a big pinch of salt, and set in the sink to drain as you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Place a strainer over a heatproof bowl. Line a baking sheet or large plate with paper towels.
- Prepare the fried shallots: Add the oil and shallots to a medium saucepan, and place over low heat. Bring the oil to a simmer, stirring the shallots with a fork to separate the rings. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the shallots are light golden brown, watching them closely, as they will brown quickly toward the end of their cooking. (Don't let the shallots brown too much, as they will continue to cook after you take them out of the oil.)
- Remove the shallots to the strainer to drain, then transfer them to the paper towels. Season with salt and allow to cool. Reserve the oil. Shallots can be fried 5 days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Prepare the dressing: Whisk together all the ingredients.
- Assemble the salad: Combine the tomatoes, two-thirds of the herbs and scallions, and half the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. To finish, top with the remaining dressing, a drizzle of the shallot cooking oil and the rest of the herbs and scallions, then finally with the fried shallots. (Reserve remaining shallot oil for other uses, like vinaigrettes, stir-fries and soups.)
