Ingredients
  

For the Dressing
  • 1 large ripe tomato Use the ripest tomatoes for maximum flavor.
  • 1 small shallot Can substitute with purple onion if needed.
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley Can replace with basil or cilantro depending on preference.

Equipment

  • box grater
  • large bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by setting a box grater inside a large bowl, ensuring it’s stable. This will catch the juices and pulp from your fresh summer tomatoes as you grate.
  2. Using the small side of the box grater, carefully grate the shallot into the bowl.
  3. Now switch to the larger side of the grater and grate the large ripe tomato directly into the bowl with the shallot.
  4. With the grated shallot and tomato combined, it's time to add the chopped Italian parsley, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and all the seasonings.
  5. Using a whisk, mix the dressing vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  6. Allow the Tangy Tomato Dressing to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
