BLISTERED TOMATO DRESSING
A vinaigrette can be as simple as an emulsion of oil and vinegar, but a memorable one carries flavors that hint at the season. This one, featuring charred tomatoes, is perfect for summer. Blistering fresh tomatoes deepens their acidic sweetness. Made with sherry vinegar and olive oil, the dressing is at once earthy and bright.

Steps:
- Heat a broiler to high. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and broil until the skin is charred and peeling, about 6 minutes. Flip and char the other sides until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, blister without turning until the tomatoes char, collapse and release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
- When the whole tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a board and coarsely chop. (Skip this step if you used cherry tomatoes.) Transfer the tomatoes with their juices to a medium bowl. Add the shallot, sherry vinegar, red-pepper flakes, if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Taste and add more vinegar and salt if necessary.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve as a dressing over cooked leafy greens, green salads, grain salads, roasted or grilled vegetables, meat and fish.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your dressing the best possible flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. There are many variations of tomato dressing, so feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste.
- Make a big batch of dressing and store it in the refrigerator for later use. This will save you time and effort during busy weeknights.
- Use tomato dressing as a marinade for chicken, fish, or vegetables. It's a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meals.
- Serve tomato dressing over pasta, rice, or quinoa. It's also a great addition to salads and sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Tomato dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meals, give tomato dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
