Place the sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and pour hot water over them. Let them soak for 5 minutes to soften.
Once softened, drain the sundried tomatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking water for later use.
In a blender or food processor, combine the softened sundried tomatoes, reserved soaking water, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic clove, and olive oil.
Blend the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Gradually add the additional 1/4 cup water to achieve your desired dressing consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake or stir well before serving as the ingredients might naturally separate.
