Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 15 milliliters Red wine vinegar
- 10 grams Honey
- 5 grams Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 milliliters Water
Instructions
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
In a small skillet, heat 15 milliliters of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cherry tomatoes, sautéed garlic (including the oil), red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and the remaining olive oil.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, gradually add water until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preferences.
Pour the dressing into a clean jar or bottle. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
