"This is so easy; and so good. Perfect over any of your favorite mixed greens, vegetables; grilled chicken, meat, pork, or seafood. Or, even as a condiment for pasta. I do love to mix this up in a food processor; but, a blender works just as well. And, if you don't have either .... just mince everything up fine; and whisk until combined. For a little twist, add a little roasted red pepper to the mix - just as good; or, even better. Also, this recipe is very open to making it your own. Sometimes, I want a less "tomato" flavor, so I use less tomatoes; but, if you want a more "intense" flavor, add more. You really have to make it your own."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Tomatoes ... This dressing is really flexible. Depending on how many tomatoes you use; it can become a very intense 'tomato' flavored dressing, to a very 'mild' taste. Also, I prefer to use the ones they sell in a plastic bag; they tend to be very moist, yet not packed in oil. However, those packed in oil work fine, just make sure they are well drained. And, those dried; make sure to re-hydrate in very hot/boiling water for 10-15 minutes until soft and tender.
Step 2
Vinaigrette ... Add the tomatoes, garlic, shallot, vinegars, a pinch of both salt and pepper to a small food processor or blender; and, pulse and blend until well combined. Then, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, a little at a time; until you get a smooth dressing. Re-season with salt and pepper if necessary. Note - this can be done by hand; you will not get a smooth texture - but, the flavor will be the same. DONE!
Step 3
Optional ... If you want, add a roasted red pepper to the mix too. This is totally optional - but, it really adds a lot of flavor.
Step 4
Serve and ENJOY! ... Over your favorite greens, vegetables, grilled meats, chicken, seafood; or tossed with pasta. Will keep up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
