Tomato Lemon Dressing
A large ripe tomato
The juice and zest of a whole lemon
One-half cup of your best olive oil
A sprinkle or two of salt and pepper
Mix everything together until smooth dressing forms. You’ll need a blender to smoothly puree the tomato. It may take a few minutes. I prefer my immersion blender. It’s easier to clean up!
Strain through the finest strainer you have. This will smooth out the dressing by removing seeds and tiny bits of the tomato’s skin. Don’t worry if you don’t have a strainer, it’ll still taste great!
