Grape tomatoes and pine nuts are both small things that provide big flavors. Grape tomatoes are perfect little bursts of the slightly sweet, slightly acidic tomato flavor we've all known since childhood. Pine nuts bring a slightly buttery, nutty (of course!) flavor profile to the proceedings. Combining them both for a perfect vinaigrette brings truth to the old adage that size doesn't matter. Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is tough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.
