Rinse and dry the cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and parsley.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to help with blending.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, parsley, chopped garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the mixture to adjust consistency. If you prefer a thinner dressing, you can add an additional tablespoon of water later.
Blend the ingredients thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Give the dressing a good shake or stir before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salad and enjoy!
