It probably goes without saying. But if you’ve ever bought an out-of-season tomato from the grocery store, you know what happens. They’re pink, floury and tangy: not at all what you’d expect from a good tomato!

Use only the best, fresh, ripe tomatoes for this tomato vinaigrette. Summer tomatoes are best, especially if you can find them at a farmer’s market or in your garden. Another option is hydroponic tomatoes sold at the grocery store: these are tomatoes grown in a greenhouse using water instead of soil. In general, these tomatoes have a better flavor than the standard off-season tomato.

Do you only have cherry tomatoes on hand? You can also use them for the tomato vinaigrette! We only did this with one large tomato, but cherry or grape tomatoes should work well too.
