One day after being a little bored of making the same salad every day, I thought it would be interesting if I made a tomato herb dressing that was fat free and salt free, instead of just chopping tomatoes into my salad.
In truth, I don’t think I ever make salad without tomatoes. I freaking LOVE them. Especially the smaller varieties like sun golds and a plethora of other varieties of cherry, grape & heirloom tomatoes. I want to share this recipe that I created.
Tomato Herb Dressing
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked in warm water (20 minutes)
- 8 pitted dates, soaked in warm water (15 minutes)
- 8 leaves fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano herb
- 1 tsp dried thyme herb
- 1 tsp dried celery salt
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped olives (use GAIA brand for no citric acid) (optional)
Once the soaked ingredients are ready, blend everything together EXCEPT the basil leaves and olives.
When blending is complete, pour the sauce out in a bowl and add the basil leaves on top.
Finally, you can add the olives in optionally. If you want to keep the recipe fat-free, then omit the olives.
I love serving this over spinach, cucumber noodles and some sliced avocado.
I hope it gives you some more variety in the fat-free department, if you need it. Not only is this an amazing dressing, but also it’s full of flavor. I hope you enjoy this fat free tomato herb dressing!

Is celery salt a healthy replacement anytime we would want to salt a dish? I’ve never used it before. Do you have a brand you prefer?
Lauren, here is a link to a brand I love: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012BY0AW?tag=onamzhealtmoo-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=B0012BY0AW&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.37Q4YJH271URR
I looked at your Amazon store, I didn’t see a brand of sundried tomatoes. Which one do you recommend?

Could you also leave out the sundried tomatoes? I can not find any near me that do not have citric acid as one of the ingredients?
Why don’t you purchase these from my amazon store? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JKH6WP?tag=onamzhealtmoo-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=B072JKH6WP&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1CNBGAKV1KG86
You need to have a recipe checker to proofread. 3 tomatoes should be in cup measurements due to various tomato sizes. Then six dates to soak and 2 Medjool dates. What type are the six dates.
Thank you, Narie, for pointing out the discrepancies in the recipe. We have updated it. Any variety of date is fine to use. As for the tomatoes, this recipe is very forgiving, so use your best judgment when adding in your tomatoes. I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy the recipe.
