  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

How to Make A Different Tomato Salad Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.
  3. Gently toss the dressing with 1 pint quartered cherry or grape tomatoes and 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes.
  4. (Optional) Add 1/2 cup chopped celery and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions for extra crunch and flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
