Blistered Tomato Vinegarette
Try out this recipe for a delicious homemade dressing. We can’t get enough of the fresh
and ripe tomatoes during the summer, but we try to get them any way and time we can. This is a different way to sneak some of those juicy guys into your dinner. We use this sauce as a garnish (read: dipping sauce) for chicken, as pictured, or use it to top salads of all different kinds. It’s delicious over
vegetables or protein.
What You’ll Need:
-½ pound tomatoes, halved
-½ cup extra virgin olive oil
-1 tbsp red wine vinegar
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-1 tbsp chopped herb (use basil for Italian flavor, or cilantro for a more Mexican feel)
-1/3 whole avocado, cubed
-salt and pepper to taste
What I did:
1. Heat a saute pan to medium-high. Toss the tomatoes in 1 tbsp of olive oil. Pour
mixture into pan and stir occasionally, allowing the tomatoes to burst and blister. (6 or 7
minutes)
2. In a food processor/blender/nutribullet, combine the tomatoes with the vinegar, lemon
juice, herbs,salt and pepper, mustard and avocado. Blend. With the machine on (if you
can) drizzle in the remaining olive oil.
