Ingredients
- 6 pieces Sundried tomatoes (no oil)
- 0.5 cups Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Place the sundried tomatoes in a small bowl and pour the hot water over them. Allow them to soak for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Once softened, drain the sundried tomatoes, reserving a tablespoon of the soaking liquid for added flavor.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked sundried tomatoes, reserved soaking liquid, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried basil, ground black pepper, and the additional 2 tablespoons of water.
Step 4
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, such as adding a pinch of pepper or a dash more lemon juice for brightness.
Step 6
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
