Vinaigrette Ingredients
- 1 small tomato, roughly chopped (cores removed, seeds retained)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomato: Roughly chop the small tomato, removing the cores but keeping the seeds to retain maximum flavor.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the chopped tomato, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and kosher salt into a mason jar or blender. Use a hand blender or regular blender to blend until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.

- Serve and Store: Drizzle the vinaigrette over salads, grilled meats, vegetables, or seafood for a fresh, tangy flavor. Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Remove tomato cores before blending, but keep seeds for added flavor.
- Use white wine vinegar or substitute with champagne vinegar for a milder acidity.
- Adjust salt to taste after blending for best flavor balance.
- Best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Shake or stir well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
