Make Sun-Dried Tomato Salad Dressing

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Karen for Expert Village I'm going to preparing this dressing in a food processor this will help to incorporate our sundried tomatoes into the dressing and it will really help to mystify the dressing. So it almost gets creamy so first I'm going to start by pre chopping our sundried tomatoes cause they can be a little tough. I'm just going to stack them up together I took all my sundried tomatoes and with a sharp knife I'm just going to slice across that whole pile. Pretty thin slices about 1/4" you want to slice them as thin as you can do it they'll get a little squashy and that's fine. Then just go turn the slices to this side and go ahead and slice it one more time and then we'll put that into the food processor. Now we'll just add the rest of oh, let me do my garlic so the garlic we want to peel easily, we can take our knife and squash that or you can either take your olive oil and just give it a pound. That will make the peel come right off I'm just going to rough chop it before I put it into the food processor it just helps to incorporate it and put that right into the food processor. Now we'll just add the rest of our ingredients this is our 1/2 of cup of olive oil a nice extra virgin olive oil something that has a good flavor. That was the oil for our sundried tomatoes wondering what that was we can put that in there. This is 2 tablespoons of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of apple juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon of the brine of the Greek olives if you don' t have any brine from your Greek olives you can use salt just salt to taste. This is 1/2 of teaspoon of a chili pepper, and a 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper we'll put all that into the food processor and let that run until it becomes a mystified. You may want to taste your dressing at this point and adjust it with a little more salt I'm going to remove it from the food processor so you can see what it looks like. It kind of has like a tomatoy a red tomato look and but it has a delicious flavor the sundried tomatoes give it a real tangy and the spices that give it a little zip very nice dressing."
