Directions
Sumac vinaigrette:
- Add the lemon juice, tomato juice, honey, roasted garlic and dried sumac to a blender and blend for about 15 seconds and then slowly add the oil to emulsify (This can also be done in a bowl with a whisk if need be)

Drizzle a desired amount of tomato vinaigrette on the salad and finish with sea salt.
