Roasted Tomato Salad Dressing Ingredients
- Tomatoes
- Garlic Cloves
- Shallot
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Dry Mustard Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce
Unlike a typical vinaigrette, or ‘oil and vinegar’ dressing, there is only a bit of olive oil and vinegar in this salad dressing.
Just enough to make it creamy with a punch of flavor!
Add Herbs to Change Up the Flavor!
This Roasted Tomato Salad Dressing is delicious as made.
However it can be flavored differently to suit your mood!
Mexican flavors
Add from fresh cilantro, cayenne and cumin for an earthy spicy flavor.
Some adobo sauce and/or part of a chipotle en adobo will give a smoky, spicy flavor.
This version would be perfect for this Mexican Salad (Cobb Salad) recipe.
Italian flavors
Add some fresh basil, rosemary, Italian parsley and thyme.
A spoonful of pesto is a fast way to create a delicious twist!
Make it Into a Sauce
Because of the thicker consistency, this homemade salad dressing could be used as a sauce too.
Add some dill and drizzle it over a favorite salmon recipe.
Would be great with grilled chicken too!
How to Roast Tomatoes
Roasting the tomatoes, shallot and garlic is easy!
It caramelizes the flavors making the final salad dressing recipe irresistibly good!
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
STEP 2: Place the prepared tomatoes, garlic and shallot on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
STEP 3: Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
A Thick Salad Dressing Recipe
To make the dressing put all the ingredients in the blender and puree!
The salad dressing recipe has a slightly thicker consistency.
When processing in a blender it will become smooth and fully blended.
It will not emulsify like pure oil and vinegar dressings do.

Oh, this is a must-try. Tomatoes in our place is plentiful and they priced as cheap so I will go to the market now.
Theresa says
I make my own dressing too and really can attest that it is so much better than its store bought counterparts. This recipe sounds like something I must make with my garden fresh veggies soon!
Toni Dash says
I’m glad to hear you agree Theresa! I think until you start making it yourself you don’t realize how different they actually can taste.

This looks and sounds really good and a great way to get creative with the multitude of tomatoes growing in my garden. I never would have thought to use tomatoes as part of the dressing, I can’t wait to try it!
Kristi says
This sounds delicious. My tomatoes are slowly becoming ripe. So far just have the grape size but the bigger ones should be red soon. This would be great to make when they finally turn red.
Toni Dash says
It tastes even better when it is made from tomatoes you grew yourself too!

I always enjoy making my own dressings since the pre-packaged varieties often contain too much sugar. This recipe looks deliciously unique and perfectly creamy.

Melissa @ Married my sugar daddy says
As a vegetarian salads are my life! And I actually am not a big fan of bottled dressings and am always on the hunt for new fresh homemade ones! This looks so tasty and right up my alley. Can’t wait to try it this weekend!
patty says
That looks heavenly. Our tomato crop isn’t doing so well this year and I’m disappointed. It’s usually one where I have so many I have to find new things to do with them. It’s been a very strange year weather wise here in Montana so the garden has suffered.
Tara says
I love roasted tomatoes and this dressing is one I have to try. I like that it’s a little thicker to use as a sauce too.

Sarah Bailey says
Oh my goodness how amazing does this sound – I could totally imagine just tucking into this for dinner tonight.
Heather @ Kraus House Mom says
This sounds so good that I would possibly just eat it with a spoon. I love tomatoes with such a passion that I buy them for an intended purpose and they don’t make it there and I need to get more. I have to try this.
