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.

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!

  • Season to taste: Always taste your vinaigrette before serving and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your taste.
  • Store your vinaigrette in a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid: Your vinaigrette will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
