I threw together a salad to go with our dinner tonight and I had to share this really simple balsamic vinaigrette recipe. YUM. I have hated eating fresh tomatoes since childhood but now I’m definitely going to be having them more often with this dressing😋
Salad is some halved constellation tomatoes, a small red onion, 1 bell pepper, 2 baby cucumbers, and 1 packet of mozzarella balls. Throw a ton of basil on there too and you’re basically done. I thought some red pepper flakes might be nice in there too next time.
Recipe for the vinaigrette if you are also new to the MD and wanna stop being a tomato hater like me 😁

balsamic vinegar transforms tomatoes. it’s also unbelievably good with fresh figs, arugula, shaved parmesan, and olive oil.
Good in-season tomatoes makes a big difference too!
Not only balsalmic vinaigrette, but also the type of tomato. I too was a lifelong tomato hater until a couple years ago when I tried grape and cherry tomatoes. I have no idea why people go with beefsteak so much, they are truly terrible tomatoes.
Now try balsamic glaze 🤯
