    JUMP TO RECIPE

    This homemade Roasted Red Pepper Salad Dressing is full of amazing flavor and is super easy to make. It's also vegan and gluten-free!

    Roasted Red Pepper Salad Dressing (Vegan & GF)

    Confession: I used to hate making my own salad dressing. It always seemed too complicated, and I simply preferred store bought. I preferred basically everything store bought back then, though. Once you start making things at home with quality ingredients your taste buds start to pick up on what I like to call that gross-artificial-kinda-like-plastic-store-bought-taste. Maybe all those preservatives.

    Now, I love making my own salad dressing because I prefer the better quality taste. I also love experimenting with different flavors (like garlic hemp oil salad dressing) and of course this roasted red pepper salad dressing!

    Roasted red peppers are a staple that I always have on hand to make hummus with, so when I saw a jar in my pantry in the midst of brainstorming a new salad dressing recipe, things just CLICKED. I thought it would taste amazing and I was so right (that feels good to say! ha!)

    You certainly could roast your own red peppers to make this, as well! Here is a how-to.

    The best part (besides the flavor) is that you just throw all of the ingredients into the blender and it's done. Just toss it with a salad, like Orzo Pasta Salad, and you're ready to enjoy or serve to your family friends.

    You can also using this roasted red pepper dressing recipe as a delicious & unique marinade, to dip bread in, or even to drizzle onto a sandwich.

    Ingredients
      

    • 12 oz jar of roasted red peppers (keep the liquid too)*
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice - about half a lemon's worth
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • salt to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Blend all ingredients in a blender, including the liquid that comes in the jar of roasted red peppers, until relatively smooth.
    • Add salt to taste if desired.
    • Drizzle over a delicious salad (like Orzo Pasta Salad) and enjoy!

    Notes

    *If you are roasting your own peppers and thus do not have the liquid that comes in the jar, use water to thin out the dressing to the right consistency.

      I was reading the back of a salad dressing bottle for roasted red pepper.. One of the ingredients is ACV. I think I'll try to add that next time for more flavor. It's hard to find dressings, that's for sure! Thanjs
