"I was given this delightful recipe many years ago by my mother with a notation, 'Oh, so good!'", says Marie Melchert from Las Vegas, Nevada. "You can make it ahead, and it is so attractive."

Ingredients

8 medium tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons tarragon or cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each tomato so it sits flat. Cut each tomato into 1/2-in. horizontal slices; reassemble tomatoes, stacking slices on top of each other. Place the stacks in a 13-in. x 9-in. dish.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour over tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving.

I like the dressing and use it with other vegetable dishes I make now. I make this recipe for summer picnics and add fresh mozzarella slices and layer between the tomato.
