Step 1

Start by tossing the tomato, onion, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and garlic into a blender. Put the lid on and blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. If the dressing feels too thick, you can add a little water or more lemon juice to loosen it up. Give it a quick taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then it’s ready to dress your salad.
