Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Salad Dressing
This is my go-to salad dressing, especially in the summer! The sun dried tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and coconut yogurt make the perfect amount of zing, and pretty much go well with whatever salad you'd like. *Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate that includes 10 minutes to soak your sun dried tomatoes (in step 1) and just 5 minutes to complete the rest of the recipe directions.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes* - (either completely dry-packed, OR packed in oil)
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 2 tablespoon plain coconut yogurt
- pinch of salt
- pinch of pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- If your sun dried tomatoes are dry and NOT stored in oil: add sun dried tomatoes to very hot water and allow to soak for 5-10 minutes. This will allow them to soften. If your sun dried tomatoes are packed in oil: these should already be soft, so no need to soak. Move on to step 2!
- Remove sun dried tomatoes from soaking water (or from oil, if packed in oil). Add sun dried tomatoes, red wine vinegar, water, garlic powder, onion powder, maple syrup, tahini, plain coconut yogurt, and salt to a blender. Blend until very smooth.
- Pour into container of choice and stir in pepper and oregano.
- Use on top of any salad you'd like! Enjoy!
Notes
*Sun dried tomatoes: Just keep in mind that using sun dried tomatoes that are packed in oil will cause this recipe to not be oil-free.
