Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sundried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (as needed for blending)
Instructions
Place the sundried tomatoes in a heat-safe bowl and pour the hot water over them. Let them soak for 5-7 minutes, or until they are softened.
Drain the sundried tomatoes, reserving the soaking water in case it’s needed for blending later.
In a blender or food processor, combine the softened sundried tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved soaking water or plain water until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, vinegar, or olive oil to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Shake or stir well before using, as natural separation may occur.
