How To Make Tomato Basil Vinaigrette

  1. Add. Measure all of the ingredients into a food processor, minus the olive oil.
  2. Stream. With the food processor on, slowly pour in the olive oil until it is emulsified and well combined.

Recipe Tips & Suggestions

  • No Food Processor. Don’t worry, if you don’t have a food processor you can still make this dressing. A blender works great as well, but you can also just use a whisk. Make sure to really finely chop your tomatoes and basil and then shake in a jar or whisk for 1-2 minutes to really combine the oil and vinegar.
  • Uses. Obviously this makes for a great dressing for salads, but it also works really well as a sauce over grilled chicken, shrimp or pork. You can use it as a marinade. Drizzle over roasted vegetables

Storage

Store your tomato basil vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You will just want to let it come to room temperature before serving, as it will solidify.

  1. Moving is terribly exhausting…but hope you are enjoying you new home 🙂
    This looks delicious!

  2. Oh I hate to move lucky for me I haven’t moved in a long time and don’t plan to anytime soon. But the great thing about moving is the new home decorating, new friends that go along with it. Nice dressing that would really enjoy!

  3. Yum, love the combo of sundried tomatoes and basil! So summery! I think I can enjoy this in a salad, (like you did) over a piece of grilled chicken, even as a marinade or pasta sauce. So versatile!

  4. Love this dressing! I am sort of a condiment junkie and this one is something I need to make soon! Sounds divine.
