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 halves* , about a 1/3 cup
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup water , or more for desired texture
Instructions
- 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!
- Combine all of the ingredients in the blender container, and blend until well emulsified.
- 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.
