EASY TOMATO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
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.

Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished green tomatoes for frying. Smaller tomatoes work best, as they will cook more evenly.
- Slice the tomatoes about 1/2-inch thick. If the tomatoes are too thick, they will not cook through properly.
- Dredge the tomato slices in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the tomato slices in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the tomatoes will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fried green tomatoes immediately, or they will lose their crispness.
- For the balsamic vinaigrette dressing, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- To assemble the salad, layer the fried green tomatoes, arugula, red onion, and goat cheese on a platter. Drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing and serve.
Conclusion:
Fried green tomato salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It is easy to make and can be served as a main course or a side dish. The tangy balsamic vinaigrette dressing complements the crispy fried green tomatoes perfectly. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
