Creamy Tomato Dressing Recipes

TANGY & SWEET TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients thoroughly in high-powered blender such as the Vitamix.
• Pour into glass jar or dressing container.
• Refrigerate.

FRESH TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar until completely combined. Add the garlic, half the tomatoes and half the tarragon. Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Cover and chill 6 hours.
• Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and discard the solids. Stir in the remaining tomatoes and tarragon. Serve over slices of fresh tomato.
• BYOC: Use your favorite herb here and tailor this dressing to the meal or your family's favorite flavors... fresh thyme oregano, basil, chervil, parsley, anything goes! Try serving this sweet and tangy dressing tossed with fresh baby spinach, a baby mesclun mix or even butter lettuce and blue cheese.

BLISTERED TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat a broiler to high. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and broil until the skin is charred and peeling, about 6 minutes. Flip and char the other sides until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, blister without turning until the tomatoes char, collapse and release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
• When the whole tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a board and coarsely chop. (Skip this step if you used cherry tomatoes.) Transfer the tomatoes with their juices to a medium bowl. Add the shallot, sherry vinegar, red-pepper flakes, if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Taste and add more vinegar and salt if necessary.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve as a dressing over cooked leafy greens, green salads, grain salads, roasted or grilled vegetables, meat and fish.
