Ingredients

  • 700 g tomatoes ripe
  • 1 lemon (juice only)
  • 3 garlic clove chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper de-seeded
  • 10 g fresh basil
  • 100 ml water
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Put a fine sieve over a bowl and pour in the mixture.
  4. Mash down the mixture in a sieve, letting the dressing pour through to the bowl until you are just left with pulp.

Notes

  • Don't throw the pulp away that is left after making the dressing. You can add this to pasta sauces.
  • If you want a thicker dressing, you could replace some of the water with oil.
  • Mix some of this dressing in to Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche and use it as a dip.
  • We just added basil, but this dressing would be a great way to reduce waste and add any leafy herbs that you have in your fridge that need using.
  • You could always add a pinch of red chilli flakes to give this dressing a spicy kick.
