• 4 tomatoes (the better the quality the better the dish. Preferably organic - I get mine from a local farmer's market).
• 3 TB EVOO
• 2 TB balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp herbs de providence
• 1/2 TB Dijon mustard (Do not sub with yellow mustard it will ruin it).
• salt & pepper to taste.

1. Peel the tomatoes and cut them into wedges.
2. In a small cup combine all the ingredients except the tomatoes to make the dressing. Pour the dressing over the tomatoes and voila!
3. Simple and good. Make sure you have some good French bread handy to sop up the wonderful dressing at the end.
4. Alternative: Recently I have been adding diced up sun dried tomatoes. I love the dimension it gives to the dish. When I do this I exclude the mustard.

I learned this recipe in the south of France when I went there for a summer in high school. It is a healthy and delish was to enjoy fresh ripe tomatoes. **All measurements are approximations - I just wing it on this one.** Alternative: Recently I have been adding diced up sun dried tomatoes.
