Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Ripe tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and core the ripe tomatoes. Chop them into quarters for easier blending.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Blend the ingredients until smooth and fully emulsified, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the blended dressing for a touch of freshness.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Shake the jar well before serving. Drizzle generously over your favorite salads, use as a dip, or incorporate into recipes as desired.
