This homemade Sun-dried Tomato Vinaigrette dressing is very easy to make. Make sure to use sun-dried tomato in olive oil as you will also need the oil for the recipe. In addition, it will taste better if you use the oil that was used to soak the sun-dried tomatoes as it gives a more flavorful taste and the aroma is more appealing. Finely minces the sun-dried tomatoes to easily blend with the other ingredients. Gradually add the red wine vinegar if you want to make the dressing less sour and just them to your taste. Using some sugar or honey will balance out the red wine vinegar. You may also add extra sun-dried tomato oil if desired. Come join me in learning how to make this amazing dressing.
