What Makes This Dish So Tasty
This dressing is fresh and vibrant, combining the sweetness of tomatoes with the sharpness of onions. It adds a bright, tangy flavor to any salad and is easy to prepare with simple ingredients you likely have on hand.
Directions
Tos the tomato, onion, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and garlic into a blender. Put the lid on and blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If it feels a little thick, you can add a splash of water or more lemon juice to loosen it up. Give it a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if you think it needs a bit more tang or salt. Once it’s just right, pour it over your salad and enjoy!
