Pinch sun-dried sea salt, or to taste
Pinch chili pepper, or to taste (optional)

In a blender, blend sun-dried tomatoes and soaking water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar (if desired), nama shoyu, honey or maple syrup, garlic, and dried seasoning until smooth. Season to taste with sea salt & chili pepper, if desired.


4.75 stars (Dale-5, David-4.5) very delicious...but didn't look great.

David made a salad of red bell pepper, manoa lettuce, carrots, snow peas and cucumber to go with it!
