Tomato Basil Vinaigrette
Description
The Tomato Basil Vinaigrette starts with blending tomato paste and red wine vinegar along with basil, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper for base flavor. Olive oil is then whisked in slowly, allowing the ingredients to emulsify into a smooth dressing. The tomato paste provides a mild sweetness and rich color while the basil adds herbal aroma. Garlic powder and seasoning deepen the savory profile, and sugar balances acidity. The vinaigrette is well suited for salads needing a bright, tomato-accented dressing.
Though the vinaigrette may separate over time after resting, a quick whisk before use restores its creamy texture. The dressing is straightforward to prepare and uses pantry staples, making it a convenient way to add a tomato-basil flavor kick to salad greens or fresh vegetable dishes.
This dressing pairs well with simple green salads, tomato salads, or as a drizzle over roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste $0.05
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar $0.20
- 1/2 tsp basil $0.05, dried
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/4 tsp sugar $0.02
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
- 6 Tbsp olive oil $0.96
Instructions
- Combine the tomato paste, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl or a blender. Whisk or blend until smooth.
- Begin whisking in the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, making sure it's fully incorporated before adding more. This allows the oil to emulsify into the tomato mixture, creating a smooth dressing. The dressing may separate slowly as it sits, but a quick whisk before drizzling over your salad will bring it back to a thick mixture.
