Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or vinegar to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or bottle. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Shake well before each use. Enjoy your homemade sundried tomato dressing on salads, as a dip, or as a flavorful marinade.
