This sundried tomato dressing is perfect for any type of cabbage based salad. I make a coleslaw with red cabbage, carrots, and coriander leaves. For the perfect crunch, do not add the dressing too far in advance.

Dressing up
Making a good salad is easy, and simple. But what can take your salad to the next level is the perfect salad dressing. I have made the same basic salad dressing for over 30 years now. Since posting the recipe on my blog, I have reduced the amount of fructose I use. It is still sublime, and a bottle sits on our table at all times. But, a change is as good as a holiday, and when ever I see a recipe for a dressing that catches my eye, I will make it. Dave has salad nearly every day for his work lunch. And we will have salad with our supper at least a couple of times a week. When Sheree posted her recipe for sundried tomato dressing I made it straight away to go with that night’s coleslaw.
Levelling up
I have always maintained that the best step up we can give our children is a good education. This does not have to be scholastic, but it needs to be the best one can afford. Unless you have already established generational wealth, this can be a great levelling up tool. A good education can mean a better job, and a better job can lead to growth and a decent salary. All of this can put our children on the path to buying a house and becoming financially independent. It should not matter what our children do to earn a living wage, what should matter is how much disposable income they have. Because that is what will help them put their children on a path to a better future. Given the chance, I would contribute to that generation getting the best start in life they can get. And hopefully that way create generational wealth.

Today is my last day out of the office, but I am officially back at work, and on the road seeing customers. I will start replying to comments on my blog tomorrow when I am at my desk ♥.
Would be great for carrot salad too!
I am going to try that tonight!
We have salad 3 to 4 times a week and this dressing would elevate our salads so much – thanks for this recipe, Tandy. I also feel that teaching children to cook can lead to better choices, even contributing to wealth in time (eating in is so much cheaper here than dining out)…
for sure it is!
I’d have this on any kind of salad!
I am thinking the same way 🙂
I make cabbage salad quite often, and this sun dried tomato dressing would be fun to try.
I hope you enjoy it!
Homemade salad dressing is such a game changer. Way cheaper, fresher, healthier, and just downright better than store-bought. It instantly upgrades any meal and this one sounds like another winner!
I agree with you 100%
What a nice twist on the traditional coleslow dressing with your delicious Sundried Tomato Dressing and it also adds a beautiful color. ~Nessa
Thank you so much Nessa 🙂
Hi Tandy, I agree completely about the importance of appropriated education for young people. It astonishes me how many people in first world countries don’t value their educational opportunities.
You are so right about that!
My kind of dressing, Tandy – looks creamy, flavourful, and perfect on so many salads!
I hope you try it on one of your salads!
