Probably my favorite present I got for Christmas this year (besides my Kate Spade bag/wallet of course) was my kitchen ninja “master prep” food processor. I am obsessed. Thank you Mom and Dad.

I never knew how much I was missing out until I got it…and now I have no idea how I survived cooking for the three years prior to having it.

Lately I have been trying to do more homemade food, as opposed to buying. I have been making Onyx homemade dog treats (which is actually saving me so much money), and I have also started experimenting with making my own salad dressings.

Here is a bomb ‘Red Wine Tomato Vinaigrette’ dressing that I am loving at the moment.

Ingredients:

-1 medium Red Tomato

-1 clove chopped Garlic

-1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

-3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

-1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard

-1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

-2 Tablespoons Water

-1/2 Teaspoon Oregano

-Salt and Pepper to taste

-1 Teaspoon Minced Shallot

Directions:

• Chop tomato in food processor
• Add garlic, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, water, dijon mustard, oregano, salt & pepper
• Pulse a few times until smooth
• Add chopped shallot and mix well
• Set aside for a few hours to allow flavors to blend well
• ***I keep mine in the fridge so it will hopefully last longer!

Pour over veggies or salad of your choice and enjoy!
