Tomatoes Vinnigrette

This simple side dish is off a card labeled "Reen" which I believe means that it originated with my Great Aunt Reen. I'm not sure though. I have to admit, I picked this one less because it appealed and more because I needed something from the boxes this week. I was pleasantly surprised though. While Thomas found the dressing oversweet, Ryan and I liked it. I think part of the success of the dish is in the time spent resting in the fridge. The dressing pulls liquid out of the tomatoes which softens the acidity and sweetness of the dressing. All in all, surprisingly refreshing.

Tomatoes Vinaigrette

  • 3 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/4 cup onions, chopped (although I think half moon slices might be better)
  • 3 Tbs cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbs light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

In a shallow dish, arrange the tomato slices. Sprinkle with onion, combine rest of ingredients. Pour over tomatoes and onions. Cover. Chill 1 hour. (6 servings)
