Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette

By Chef Linda

A great vinaigrette can turn a simple salad into a gourmet experience. Using sun-dried tomatoes deepens the flavors and elevates the taste beyond a ho-hum salad dressing. Deep and rich, this dressing is bold enough to stand up to strong-flavored greens like arugula and takes a plain pasta salad to new heights. With only a few ingredients and a fresh, healthy taste, why would you buy dressing when you can make your own?

Ingredients

 ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, dry packed
 ¼ cup red wine vinegar
 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
 1 large garlic clove
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
 ½ teaspoon salt
 ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 ½ cup olive oil

Directions

1

Place sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With blender running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified or fully blended. Store extra for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
