Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing

This sun-dried tomato dressing is reminiscent of the dipping oil served at my favorite Italian restaurant--> I've always had the urge to pour it over my salads, and now I can!

Ingredients

  • 9 sun-dried tomato about a 1/3 cup, halves
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon shallot minced
  • 2 garlic small cloves
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 cup water , or more for desired texture

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you're using a standard blender, you may want to soak your sun-dried tomatoes in warm water for 20 minutes, to soften them up. (Measure before soaking.) If you're using a high-speed blender, like the Vitamix, soaking isn't necessary!
  2. Combine all of the ingredients in the blender container, and blend until well emulsified.
  3. This dressing will thicken a bit when chilled, so I recommend chilling for at least 4 hours before serving. The flavor actually gets better when chilled overnight! Store in an air-tight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • For best results, choose a brand of organic sun-dried tomatoes that are free of sulfites and preservatives, and are not packed in oil. I'm not sure how oil-packed tomatoes may affect the flavor of this recipe.
