Cherry Tomatoes With Ginger Dressing Recipes

TOMATO GINGER SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the olive oil and ginger. Taste for seasoning.
• Assemble the salad: Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and season with salt. Use a pair of scissors to snip the basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Transfer to a bowl, then toss the tomatoes with the dressing and celery. Spoon onto grilled bread.

BUTTERED TOMATOES WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside for serving. Finely chop remaining white and pale green parts. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium. Add white and pale green parts of scallions and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently with a spoon, until juicy and just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed. Top with reserved scallion greens.
• Spoon tomatoes over toast and sprinkle with more salt if desired.

TOMATO SALAD WITH GINGER-GARLIC DRESSING

• Add garlic; crush with ginger.
• Remove to small bowl; whisk in salt, sugar, vinegar and oil.
• In bowl, mix tomatoes, onion and coriander.
• Add salad dressing; toss lightly to coat.
• Note: I often make this with a couple of cupfuls of cherry tomatoes, halving the larger ones.
