1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained and chopped

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings: This recipe uses a simple vinaigrette, but you could also try a creamy dressing or a citrus-based dressing.
