TANGY & SWEET TOMATO DRESSING

• Pour into glass jar or dressing container.
• Refrigerate.

FRESH TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar until completely combined. Add the garlic, half the tomatoes and half the tarragon. Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Cover and chill 6 hours.
• Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the solids. Stir in the remaining tomatoes and tarragon. Serve over slices of fresh tomato.
• BYOC: Use your favorite herb here and tailor this dressing to the meal or your family's favorite flavors... fresh thyme oregano, basil, chervil, parsley, anything goes! Try serving this sweet and tangy dressing tossed with fresh baby spinach, a baby mesclun mix or even butter lettuce and blue cheese.

GRATED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice a thin round off the bottom of each tomato. Starting at cut end, grate tomatoes on the largest holes of a grater over a medium bowl until all that's left is the flattened tomato skin and stem; discard. Season grated flesh with several generous pinches of salt.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook garlic, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add rosemary and cook, tossing, just until fragrant and starting to brown around edges, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, add tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, and stir until melted. Taste and season with more salt as needed.
• Sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

BLISTERED TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat a broiler to high. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and broil until the skin is charred and peeling, about 6 minutes. Flip and char the other sides until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, blister without turning until the tomatoes char, collapse and release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
• When the whole tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a board and coarsely chop. (Skip this step if you used cherry tomatoes.) Transfer the tomatoes with their juices to a medium bowl. Add the shallot, sherry vinegar, red-pepper flakes, if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Taste and add more vinegar and salt if necessary.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve as a dressing over cooked leafy greens, green salads, grain salads, roasted or grilled vegetables, meat and fish.
