Chef's Notes
When caramelizing onion, use a medium-low heat and allow the onions to cook for 20 minutes or until golden-brown. When roasting potatoes, place a sheet pan in the oven to preheat the pan. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl or skillet. Then pour the potato mixture on the preheated pan to cook. For meat lovers, toss cooked, chopped bacon with the vegetables. You can also substitute the bacon drippings for half of the olive oil in the dressing.

Really easy to make!
Says it takes 40 minutes but we made it in 15 minutes, because we cut our baby red potatoes in half and used the microwave to cook and because we saute scads of onions (1 gallon) which we keep in the refrigerator to use all week. We eat a LOT of onions and garlic each week. We reheated the onions added to the hot potatoes ,tomatoes, basil (great addition) and drizzled the dressing on top and served. Then had to make more because everyone wanted seconds.

Very tasty
I'm new to the vitamix and this turned out delish although the dressing was not quite the same in terms of appearance as the picture. I think this was because my balsamic is quite "mature" so the colour was quite dark. Hubby thought it looked like chocolate mousse. Didn't really matter because it was yum! Will make again.
