Ingredients

1 Tbsp tomato paste $0.05
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar $0.20
1/2 tsp dried basil $0.05
1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
1/4 tsp sugar $0.02
1/4 tsp salt $0.02
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper $0.02
6 Tbsp olive oil $0.96

Instructions

Combine the tomato paste, red wine vinegar, basil, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl or a blender. Whisk or blend until smooth.
Begin whisking in the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, making sure it's fully incorporated before adding more. This allows the oil to emulsify into the tomato mixture, creating a smooth dressing. The dressing may separate slowly as it sits, but a quick whisk before drizzling over your salad will bring it back to a thick mixture.
