I use walnut oil to bring a subtle nutty flavor and depth to vinaigrette. In France, where I lived and studied for three years, I bought it from a local artisan who had a stand in our neighborhood market.

Ingredients

• 1 T balsamic vinegar
• 1 T Dijon mustard
• 2 t toasted walnut oil
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/4 freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 1/2 T finely chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1 1/2 t chopped fresh tarragon

Preparation

Step 1
