Tomato Vinaigrette


This is one of my go to dressings for salad, marinates or whatever you want. It's great when your craving tomatoes in the winter, you can use organic tomato sauce or your own canned tomatoes, pureed and strained. It's easy, throw all the ingredients into a jar and shake. Enjoy!

-Tomato Vinaigrette-
1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 t. dry thyme, basil, oregano
1/2 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. onion powder
1/4 t. fresh ground pepper
1/4 c. tomato sauce
*optional- fresh chopped garlic

1. Pour all the ingredients into a jar with tight fitting lid. Place the lid on the jar and shake all the ingredients together until well blended.
2. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Ready to use!

In the summer when fresh herbs are available you could swap them for the dry herbs.
P.S. I use my mortar and pesol to grind all the herbs, salt and pepper and onion powder together before adding them to the other ingredients.
