We’re in the middle of tomato season, which means you might have run out of  ways to enjoy the summer fruit other than just slicing and seasoning with salt and pepper. Making the vinaigrette is quick and can be made three days in advance. Great for salads, the vinaigrette is also great drizzled over sliced watermelon, feta, and tarragon. You can also marinate beef, chicken, or shrimp for summer grilling or for kids a dipping sauce for their chicken fingers. –Justin Burke-Samson
