Peppy Lo Cal Tomato Dressing Recipes

SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Char bell pepper over gas flame or in broiler until blackened all over. Enclose in paper bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed bell pepper; coarsely chop. Combine bell pepper and next 5 ingredients in processor. Blend until almost smooth. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix sun-dried tomatoes, 3/4 cup water, cream, vinegar and lemon juice in processor. With machine running, add oil; blend until almost smooth. Whisk sun-dried tomato mixture into bell pepper mixture.

BLISTERED TOMATO DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat a broiler to high. Place the tomatoes on a sheet pan and broil until the skin is charred and peeling, about 6 minutes. Flip and char the other sides until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release some of their moisture, about 5 minutes. If using cherry tomatoes, blister without turning until the tomatoes char, collapse and release their moisture, about 10 minutes.
• When the whole tomatoes are cool enough to handle, transfer them to a board and coarsely chop. (Skip this step if you used cherry tomatoes.) Transfer the tomatoes with their juices to a medium bowl. Add the shallot, sherry vinegar, red-pepper flakes, if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Taste and add more vinegar and salt if necessary.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve as a dressing over cooked leafy greens, green salads, grain salads, roasted or grilled vegetables, meat and fish.
