Tomato Olive Vinaigrette

Tired of throwing away the brine in a jar of olives? Us too. Now we turn it into our favorite salad dressing something akin to a scratch version of "French Dressing". 


Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes or 1 cup cherry tomato confit
1/2 cup olive brine (just from the jar when you're done eating the olives)
1 cup olive oil

Method

  1. If using fresh tomatoes, heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat and pan roast the tomatoes with a pinch of salt unti they burst and the liquid reduces
  2. Combine all other ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth
  3. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired adding more salt, black pepper, or a splash of vinegar as needed
