Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a bright, vibrant flavor to the dressing. Basil, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, and thyme are all good choices.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Adjust the amount of vinegar to taste. Some people prefer a more tangy dressing, while others prefer a milder one. Start with a small amount of vinegar and add more to taste.
- Serve the tomatoes immediately. The tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as possible after you've made them.
