Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Prepare your food processor and attach the standard chopping blade.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes of excess oil, but do not rinse. Measure 1 cup of the drained tomatoes and add them to the food processor.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the food processor.
Measure out the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Add all these ingredients to the food processor.
Secure the lid and pulse the mixture several times to roughly chop the tomatoes and garlic.
Turn the food processor on and blend continuously while slowly adding the 1/4 cup of water through the feed tube. Blend until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. If the dressing is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or vinegar for balance.
Transfer the dressing to a sealable jar or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir before serving. This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
