Tomato Vinaigrette

Recipe Notes

Yield: About 1 cup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, finely minced
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 ripe plum tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely diced

Recipe Steps

Step 1: Combine the vinegar, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small nonreactive bowl and whisk until the salt is dissolved. Add the oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly to make an emulsified sauce. Whisk in the shallot, garlic, and tomato.

Step 2: Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let stand for at least 10 minutes (and up to 4 hours) before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Whisk again before serving, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
