I made this dish all summer, using fresh tomatoes, basil, & parsley from my garden. A wonderful side dish. I found that I liked the flavor better when using about half the amount of oil. I've read some of the reviews - yes, the brown sugar is great with this. Don't leave it out.

Followed Ree's instructions exactly, however I saved about 1/2 of the dressing for another time/use. I used a high quality balsamic, which was quite thick -- that might be a key to the success. For those who object to the brown sugar, without it, it would just be another balsamic vinaigrette. This was so good, we used a spoon at the end to finish off the marinade!
