This vibrant cherry tomato vinaigrette is a versatile plant-based addition to your kitchen repertoire, offering a fresh alternative to traditional bottled dressings. By gently heating the tomatoes with shallots, the natural sugars caramelise slightly, creating a savoury depth that balances the sharp tang of red wine vinegar. The combination of burst and whole tomatoes provide a lovely chunky texture, while the addition of fresh chives adds a delicate onion-scented finish.
As a healthy vegan condiment, this dressing is wonderful drizzled over roasted Mediterranean vegetables, spooned onto grilled sourdough, or tossed through a warm pearl barley salad. It can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it an excellent option for stress-free entertaining or meal prep. Simply store it in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavour.
