Equipment
Ingredients
- 2-3 roma tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Fill a medium saucepan ¾ with water and bring to a boil. Set up an ice bath directly next to the range. Score the bottom of each tomato with a "X".
- Drop the tomatoes into the boiling water for 45-60 seconds. If the water does not fully cover your tomatoes, turn and boil on the other end for a few seconds.
- Remove and immediately submerge in the ice bath. Remove the tomatoes from the ice bath and peel. Skin should come off easily.
- Chop off the stem end and then quarter. Using your fingers, gently press out the pulpy seed sections. Do not worry about getting it all, just the majority.
- Place the peeled tomatoes, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, sugar, mayonnaise, olive oil, salt and pepper into a food processor and blend until pale pink and smoother.
- Drizzle over a fresh salad mix or use as a dipping sauce.

Notes
Use any variety of tomato you'd like, I used beefsteak which equaled about 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped.
