Tomato Vinaigrette

Name: Tomato Vinaigrette
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients: 12 thick tomato slices; 1/2 cup olive oil; 2 to 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1 teaspoon snipped fresh oregano; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard; 6 large lettuce leaves; Minced green onions; Minced fresh parsley

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe, and I've used it often. It's a nice change of pace from your basic lettuce and tomato salad.

Ingredients

12 thick tomato slices
1/2 cup olive oil
2 to 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon snipped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
6 large lettuce leaves
Minced green onions
Minced fresh parsley

Directions

Arrange tomato slices in an 8-in. square dish; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and mustard. Pour over tomatoes. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
To serve, place each lettuce leaf on an individual plate and top with two tomato slices. Drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with onions and parsley.

Delicious! I used this dressing on a green bean, cauliflower, and red onion salad. I halved the recipe and still have enough left to use on another salad. Will definitely make this again.
