Directions
Tos 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.
Best Ways To Serve

Leftover Care Tips
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Shake or stir well before using, as ingredients may separate over time. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture and flavor.
