"A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins."

The refrigerator light goes on...

A simple and very fresh dressing from ingredients that you likely have around the house. I based this dressing on one my mother made when I was growing up. She called this "French Dressing" and made it with some of the same ingredients. I added the chopped chives to give it a fresh summer flavor.
