Tomato Basil Vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste($0.05)
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar($0.20)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil($0.05)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder($0.02)
  • 1/4 tsp sugar($0.02)
  • 1/4 tsp salt($0.02)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper($0.02)
  • 6 Tbsp olive oil($0.96)

Instructions

  1. Combine the tomato paste, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl or a blender. Whisk or blend until smooth.
  2. Begin whisking in the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, making sure it's fully incorporated before adding more. This allows the oil to emulsify into the tomato mixture, creating a smooth dressing. The dressing may separate slowly as it sits, but a quick whisk before drizzling over your salad will bring it back to a thick mixture.
