New York City chef Dan Kluger makes a deeply flavorful vinaigrette for summer's sweetest and juiciest tomatoes. Instead of dry-roasting almonds for his salad, Kluger toasts them in olive oil until they're crisp and golden, then uses the richly flavored oil to make a tangy dressing.In 2018, Food & Wine named this recipe one of our 40 best:当我们遇到一个既美味的食谱s and economical, we take notice. An eye-opener for us was the vinaigrette that chef Dan Kluger of New York City’s Loring Place created for this salad, which highlights summer’s juiciest and sweetest tomatoes. Kluger (who was named a Best New Chef in 2012 for his work at New York’s ABC Kitchen) toasts chopped almonds in olive oil until crisp and golden, then, instead of discarding that fragrant oil, he whisks in grated garlic, vinegar, lime juice, and a bit of sugar for a phenomenal dressing. Topped with red onion, jalapeño, mint, and basil, this dish is a total summer showstopper.
