1 lemon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint red grape or cherry tomatoes, halved (preferably an heirloom variety such as Tommy Toe)
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved
3 stalks celery, cleaned, leaves removed and thinly sliced
6 scallions, white and tender green parts only, sliced

1
Prepare the vinaigrette, just before use.
2
Place the lemon in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the essential oils in the skin are released.
3
Since the lemon will be hot coming from the microwave, you will need to set it aside briefly, until it cools just enough to handle.
4
Pour vinegar into a blender, turn it on, and then squeeze in lemon juice from the microwaved lemon.
5
Leaving the blender running, add 1 at a time through the feed opening: garlic, mustard, chives, basil, and yogurt, and blend until smooth.
6
While keeping the blender running, add oil through the feed opening in a slow stream.
7
Mix together tomatoes, celery, and scallions and toss with dressing.
