Charred Florida Tomato Dressing

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-sized Florida tomato, cored and quartered
  • 1 tsp. fresh garlic, chopped
  • 1 tsp. all-purpose seasoning blend (see note)
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp. quality vinegar (champagne, white balsamic, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp. fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary, etc.), finely chopped
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat a small, non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat.
  • Place the quartered tomato slices in the pre-heated pan dry with no oil.
  • Cook tomatoes for about 2 minutes, on each side, or until a small char starts to form; it is important to not completely burn the entire tomato; only char parts of it to get good flavor.
  • When the quartered tomato has enough charring on it, remove from the heat.
  • Add the charred tomato, garlic, seasoning blend, smoked paprika, lemon juice, yogurt, vinegar and herbs to a blender or food processor.
  • Blend ingredients until smooth while slowly adding the olive oil.
  • Taste dressing and adjust seasoning with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • Place in a mason jar, or similiar storage container with a lid, and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
