Rob Rainford adds some champagne to his dressing to create a tasty tomato salad.

I had some leftover Champagne so I added it to the vinaigrette and it was fabulous. If you have no bubbly lying around, sparkling wine or white wine vinegar are good too. For best flavour, chop the tarragon at the last minute.
