I'm always on the lookout for good homemade oil-free salad dressings.  This one is outstanding.  So fresh and delicious!  Enjoy.

Oil-Free Tomato-Basil Salad Dressing

3-4 small roma tomatoes, cored and halved
1 small regular tomato, cored and quartered
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
1/3 c. sundried tomatoes, coarsely chopped
8-10 fresh basil leaves
juice of 1 lemon
dash of sea salt

Blend first 7 ingredients and half of the water in a food processor or blender until smooth.  Add more water until you attain the desired consistency.  Refrigerate unused portions.  Make about 3 cups.

  1. I tried this recipe "Oil-Free Tomato-Basil Salad Dressing" and it was ok, not enough of something, not sure what it was missing for me, but I decided to add 1 whole avocado and Bam! It was amazing. I don't want to add oil, but also don't mind the healthy fats in avocado, so adding one made it creamy and more flavorful. So in the end I loved this recipe as long as I added the avocado. Thanks for sharing.
