Tarragon Tomato Salad
"Here is my version of a recipe taught by Anne Willan. Her version uses small cherry tomatoes, which are scored, blanched and peeled. The combination is incredible, as the peeled tomatoes soak up the flavorful vinaigrette and explode in your mouth. However the number of people I would peel cherry tomatoes for is fairly limited. The wine may seem a little surprising, but tomatoes contain alcohol-soluble flavors that can only be delivered to your taste receptors in the presence of alcohol. As the salad marinates, the tomatoes begin to exude their juices, so don't make this more that 2-3 hours before serving. Serve this pretty combination in a butterhead lettuce cup with plenty of bread to soak up the juices."
