CREAMY TOMATO-HERB SALAD DRESSING



Creamy Tomato-Herb Salad Dressing image

If you create a wonderful, fresh salad then I believe that you should have a fantastic dressing to go on it! It takes no time at all and tastes SO much better and is much healthier than the bottled stuff. The herbs can be changed to suit your taste; I like the sweetish combination of the tarragon and basil, but this works well with thyme too. The sour cream can be replaced by plain yogurt or even buttermilk. Prep time is for the combined ingredients getting to know each other better in the fridge!

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard or 1/4 teaspoon creole mustard
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine thoroughly and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the flavor of your dressing. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy.
  • Choose fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your dressing a brighter, more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only half the amount.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will also affect the flavor of your dressing. Choose an extra-virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Season your dressing to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to your dressing will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Let your dressing rest: Allowing your dressing to rest for at least 30 minutes before using will allow the flavors to meld together. This will result in a more flavorful dressing.

Conclusion:

Tomato herb salad dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is also a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and herbs. With its bright, tangy flavor, this dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
