Food is one of my greatest passions, when I was a kid, I started clipping recipes and putting them into a binder, by age 25, I had filled two 3" binders with clipped recipes. In addition to this I have inherited a smaller binder of clipped recipes from my Grandmother Mary and 4 recipe boxes from my Grandmother Melusine. This is my attempt of cooking through all the clipped recipes of my past.

Tomato Vinaigrette
Tomato Vinaigrette
I made this one because I have so many tomatoes at this point of the garden, and I needed a creative way to use some up. I made a triple batch, (3 tomatoes) just to use some up.
I have no idea where the initial recipe came from. Its scrawled in my pre-teen handwriting on a page of a book. Knowing me, it prolly came from a newscast I saw on TV or the green grocer or something like that.
Tomato Vinaigrette
1 plum tomato,
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar,
3 tablespoons olive oil,
½ tablespoon fresh tarragon,
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Puree Tomato and vinegar, add oil, tarragon, salt and pepper.
Toss with greens.
The Chief commentator liked it a lot. So did the kid who loves tomatoes. Very Fresh, light, and covered the greens well. I liked it too, fresh. I didn’t like it the next day when I used the rest of it up, because there seemed like too much acid from the tomatoes, so this is not a recipe you want to leave sitting around.
