Tomatoes In Chive Vinaigrette
Tomatoes in Chive Vinaigrette – Gluten Free, Lactose
Fresh, ripe tomatoes, vine-ripened and fully sweet! One of the best foods of the year! Most of the year my hubby doesn’t care much for tomatoes except “in” something, like in a sandwich or in a salad. When we have fresh, vine-ripe tomatoes, though, he’ll even eat them plain. After I’ve served enough of them plain, or with a little salt and pepper, then I start wanting a little dressing on mine. That’s when I mix up some vinaigrette, and adding a little chives with that is good.
Lately I’ve been trying some of my old favorites with agave nectar instead of sugar. The vinaigrette works nicely with that change. While I like the olive oil taste in this, it really isn’t needed, so if you want to leave out the oil, you might not even notice it. My mother used to make a dressing with only vinegar and sugar, which was great with tomatoes. Even simpler, my mother-in-law often served fresh tomatoes with just a sprinkle of sugar. Does that count as dressing? Whether it does or not, it was a popular way to serve fresh tomatoes when she was young. Now, though, to update those with a healthier sweetener, I’m trying agave nectar. That would qualify for Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays over at Amy’s Simply Sugar and Gluten Free.
