How to Make Tangy Tomato Dressing

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of tomato puree, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (or more, to taste!), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of California garlic salt, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let the dressing cool completely. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more vinegar for extra tang, sugar for sweetness, etc.).
  5. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
