Tomato Vinaigrette
This is a great way to use up a batch of tomatoes a little past their prime. Slow roasted tomatoes are just concentrated goodness that we turn into an amazing vinaigrette. This dressing is creamy and sweet without the addition of cream, mayo or sweeteners – just the essence of amazing tomatoes – saving more than 100 calories per serving. The added flavor comes from roasting all the moisture out of the tomatoes and concentrating the sweetness. Then we added a boost of flavor with Balsamic Vinegar and Dijon Mustard.
