EASY TOMATO BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I can't take credit for this recipe. A friend of mine who is a chef gave me this and I love it. Serve over grilled vegetables, fish and of course your favorite salad greens. One note, using a tube of the "double-concentrated" tomato paste really does make a big difference, as well as using an aged Balsamic. But I have made it with every day Balsamic and "standard" tomato paste and it still is pretty tasty. I think the rice vinegar is very important to use, and shouldn't be substituted in this recipe.

Steps:
- Dressing -- Just mix everything together and refrigerate until ready to use. I use a small tupperware container and shake all the ingredients. That way if you have leftovers, it is a great way to store them.

I like to call this a great starter recipe as you can add in other things such as bacon or cooked ham, even chopped gherkin pickles, chopped parsley, the choice is yours! --- for best flavor use mayonnaise and salad dressing ---there is 4 hours chilling time all together for this recipe, so plan ahead. --- you will also find a slightly different version of my recipe here http://kittencalskitchen.com/2009/04/05/kittens-potato-salad-with-eggs-and-ham/
