Excellent recipe! So beautifully nuanced--makes bland store-bought hydroponic tomatoes actually TASTE tomato-y! Made per recipe many times and wondered if I could make it even MORE tomato-y! Finally I tweaked for company to dress pathetic, bland, store bought tomatoes that I had ripened for a Caprese Salad (I know, bad choice when no farm tomatoes...) so, I went to town tweaking... I think flexibility is a hallmark of a good recipe?

This was a very nice salad dressing. The different taste that i was seeking. I made it first to allow the flavors to marry, while I made a salad. I made a portobello mushroom, feta cheese salad with other additions. Your recipe, as I suspected was the perfect dressing for it. Might add a tad more of the rice vinegar for the quantity of salad, that I made. I really do make big salads. Thank you for sharing

Increased Rice Wine Vinegar to 1/3 cup; added 1 Tsp. Robt. Rothchild's Annie Mae Smoky Mustard (really excellent); added 1-1/2 tsp. garlic salt rather than salt; 1/2 med. shallot in place of dried onion flakes; heaped 1 tsp. oregano; upped garlic to 3 cloves; upped sun dried tomatoes to 1/4+ cup; added 1/3 cup roasted red pepper, plus 1 chopped ripe medium tomato. And then, yes, I do cheat--and add 1/3 bottle of OrganicVille/SkyValley Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinaigrette which adds balsamic flavor, stabilizers, and yes, more fat. This dressing is very similar to OrganicVille/SkyValley Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic Dressing, which I can never get at my store. Whizzed all in little food processor, adjusting reg salt/sugar ratio at the end, and water to thin as desired. Makes more, lasts for approx. 2 weeks in refrig. Excellent over plastic tomatoes when you can't get real ones. You could up Olive Oil, and add some balsamic (it is strong) in place of OrganicVille Dressing, if desired. Another tweak for another day.
