Zucc and Cherry Tomatoes with Red Pepper Dressing - cjs - 08-10-2016 Summer tomato dish alert!! This one deserves a thread of its own!! My Goodness, this dish is so tasty!! We may be so tired of it by the end of the beautiful tomato season, but what the heck. It’s a recipe of David Tanis of N.Y. Times and what a winner! Good luck staying out of the dressing – it is outstanding, also. Zucchini and Cherry Tomatoes with Red Pepper Dressing 2 lbs zucchini or summer squash, sliced lengthwise 1/8-inch thick 1 garlic clove, minced ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tsp Dijon mustard 2 Tbs red wine vinegar 1 Tbs lemon juice 1/2 cup roughly chopped roasted red pepper 1 tsp Maras pepper flakes, Korean pepper flakes or sweet paprika pinch of cayenne Salt and pepper 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved and lightly salted A few fresh oregano leaves and flowers, for garnish, or a few small basil leaves 1. Parsley leaves, for garnish (Optional) 2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
