It’s time for another salad dressing my friends. This being high season for tomatoes, I wanted to share this amazing smoky tomato shallot salad dressing with fresh tomatoes and sherry vinegar I have been working on.

Recently, I heard a foodblogger talking about how she would describe a dressing as so good she could drink it, and I thought to myself, that’s gross.

This Smoky Tomato Shallot Dressing by Healthy Seasonal Recipes has so much flavor, that you won’t miss the extra fat.

That is, I thought so until I met this dressing.

Folks, this dressing is like heaven. And I’m going to go on the record as saying I would drink it.

Call me gross, but try it and you just may agree. Aside from drinking it straight, and more important, it completely transforms a salad.

This Smoky Tomato Shallot Dressing by Healthy Seasonal Recipes has so much flavor, that you won’t miss the extra fat.

I’m going to pair it down to only two reasons why this needs to be on your must-make list.

High Volume Less Calories

1. This recipe has a bulkifying agent (in this case it is tomatoes.) As I said in this post about how to make great dressing, I mentioned that ingredients that add volume to dressing recipes help keep them on the lean side. A two tablespoon serving of this dressing comes in at 105 calories.

Smoky Flavor

2. The smoked paprika and sherry together is so woodsy (and smoky) and pairs magically with so many of the ingredients in season right now, eggplant, peppers, zucchini, kale, chard, summer squash. Yesterday I had it on a salad of lacinato kale, grilled chicken and crumbled goat feta. Man! That was great! But my point is, even without the extra-calories it has so much flavor, that you won’t miss the extra fat.

Tomatoes add volume to this Smoky Tomato Shallot Dressing by Healthy Seasonal Recipes to make it low-calorie, but still very flavorful.

I would love to hear how you use it. If you try this recipe, snap a pic of it and tag me in your photo! I’m @healthyseasonal on Instagram.
