Tomato Vinaigrette

This sauce can be an obsession. It is easy to make, and on warm pasta, pasta salads, grilled fish hot or cold, asparagus hot or cold, meats, and grilled garlic bread as a snack, it’s sublime. The explosion of herb perfume when poured over hot vegetables or pasta is for me what summer is all about.

Do not assemble the sauce until you are going to use it. The sauce is better very loosely mixed, not as an emulsion.
