Cherry tomatoes make a summery salad for the dead of winter. If you can find them, add a few sweet little yellow pear tomatoes to the mix.

2. 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3. 1 large shallot, minced
4. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
5. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6. Salt and freshly ground pepper
7. 3 pints cherry tomatoes, halved
8. 1/3 cup finely shredded basil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, shallot and garlic. Whisk in the oil in a thin stream and season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and basil and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
