1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar (available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 1/2 pounds (about 6 medium) tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
