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!

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.
