This Tomato Basil Vinaigrette is a salad dressing that makes an ideal use of fresh tomatoes.
It’s a delicious salad dressing with a fresh from the garden flavor.
It’s really easy to make and is great poured over a fresh leafy green salad or mixed with a pasta dish. Like this Cheese Tortellini & Summer Sausage.
You can also pour the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over mozzarella cheese balls. It’s almost like having a Caprese Salad.
