Yellow Tomatoes in Spiced Balsamic Vinaigrette
Yellow tomatoes have a low level of acidity, so they taste sweeter than most red tomatoes. Balsamic vinegar brings out the sweetness and adds a mild acidity. Use high-quality vinegar, since this recipe calls for quite a bit. Serve with steak, lamb, or salmon.
Yield: 10 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)
