📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry.

4. 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.

5. Blend the mixture on high until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, gradually add water until the desired consistency is achieved.
