Basil Vinaigrette (on fresh tomatoes)
Description
Another recipe from Mom – I actually had to ask her for this so that I could make it for her as part of her birthday dinner. This is best enjoyed on fresh tomatoes, I doubled it this time – enjoy!
Ingredients
Basil Vinaigrette
3 T. olive oil
1 T. white wine vinegar (I used white balsamic vinegar this time)
1 t. Dijon
1/2 c. lightly packed fresh basil leaves (the market actually had lemon basil, so that’s what I used here)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 large tomatoes, washed sliced and arranged on a pretty serving dish
extra basil leaves for decoration
Instructions
In a blender or a mini food processor, combine the oil, vinegar, Dijon, and basil and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then store in the fridge in a well sealed container if you’re not using it straight away. Otherwise, drizzle the dressing over the tomatoes and decorate the plate with a few extra basil leaves if you wish.
