Sweet BBQ Dressing

July 9, 2015 by christine

Whew, happy Friday eve!  Popping in with a quick recipe because it’s been a busy week! We’re still going through a lot of corn here, I love that the fresh stuff is in season and cheap and I got more in the farm box. I decided to use it in a fresh, BBQ themed salad. But what I found in creating this recipe is no two BBQ sauce recipes are alike! There is a huge range in flavors and ingredients! Unfortunately a lot of the recipes also include lots of sugar and oddly processed ingredients. For me a slight sweetness with a tangy chili kick makes BBQ sauce and this recipe gets is sweetness from a banana and a very ripe tomato blended with tangy apple cider vinegar.

Sweet BBQ Dressing

  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 banana, peeled and chopped
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 2-4 servings.

The color is a pretty, mild pink with a creamy, almost yogurt-like texture.

I added chopped apple and hemp seeds to the salad for a hearty savory and sweet meal salad.

The flavor of the dressing is a sweet BBQ flavor that’s tangy, but does not have a harsh, vinegary bite and paired nicely with corn and apple.

After we had to share dessert with our sweet fan club.

    This is so creative, Christine. I’ve never made a BBQ dressing. I love the idea, especially over a veggie burger hot off the grill.

      Thanks and it came out good for such a simple ingredient list. You could add sun dried tomatoes for a stronger tomato flavor also.
