Ingredients:

juice from 5 tomatoes

2 shallots

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp salt

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

½ cup mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

ground black pepper

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

6 cherry tomatoes

1 tbsp sliced chives

1 cup chopped cooked bacon

2 romaine hearts

¼ large red onion

1 hardboiled egg

½ avocado

Directions:

1. Make the dressing. In a large bowl, whisk together the tomato juice, shallots, mustard, sugar, salt, red wine vinegar, mayonnaise, sour cream, and about 20 turns of a pepper mill.

2. Once combined, slowly whisk in the olive oil.

3. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The dressing makes about 1 quart and will last up to 2 weeks in your fridge.)

4. In a large bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, chives, bacon, romaine, onion, and 4 tbsp of the reserved dressing.

5. Top with the egg, avocado, and additional black pepper.

Bon Appetit!
