Description

This vibrant tomato-based dressing offers a refreshing alternative to heavy cream or oil-based sauces. By combining fresh tomato juice with the bright acidity of lemon and the sharp kick of horseradish, you create a complex flavor profile that is both tangy and spicy. The addition of finely chopped onion adds a subtle crunch and aromatic depth. Perfect for drizzling over green salads, grilled vegetables, or lean proteins, this dressing is naturally vegan and diabetic-friendly. It comes together in minutes with pantry staples, making it an ideal choice for quick, healthy meals where you want maximum flavor without the extra calories.
