Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 27kcal
Ingredients
- 700 g Tomatoes ripe
- 1 Lemon (juice only)
- 3 Garlic clove chopped
- 1 Red bell pepper de-seeded
- 10 g Fresh basil
- 100 ml Water
- 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 4 Sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon Tomato puree
- 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Put a fine sieve over a bowl and pour in the mixture.
- Mash down the mixture in a sieve, letting the dressing pour through to the bowl until you are just left with pulp.
Notes
- Don't throw the pulp away that is left after making the dressing. You can add this to pasta sauces.
- If you want a thicker dressing, you could replace some of the water with oil.
- Mix some of this dressing in to Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche and use it as a dip.
- We just added basil, but this dressing would be a great way to reduce waste and add any leafy herbs that you have in your fridge that need using.
- You could always add a pinch of red chilli flakes to give this dressing a spicy kick.
