Prep Time 5 minutes

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup cannellini beans- can substitute for chick peas as well cooked or canned
  • 1/4 cup sun flower seeds - soaked in hot water for 15 min and drained
  • 1 lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest - optional
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup plant based milk - I like oat milk for this recipe

Instructions
 

  • There is just one instruction for this lovely versatile dressing. Dump all ingredients in a blender jar, blend into smooth saucy mixture. Store in air tight jar. Basic, simple, and so useful to just have a jar of this dressing in the fridge.
    Adjust the consistency by adding few more beans if a bit runny. Or add few tsp plant based milk, if too thick.
    *If you are using canned beans- rinse thoroughly. If you are using freshly cooked beans, make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
    *Want to be more health conscious--use sprouted beans to make the dressing.
    *Feel free to add more flavors with herbs- dill/ cilantro/ mint/ basil, or spice with- jalapeno ,chipotle peppers. I love adding cilantro/jalapeno or few canned chipotle peppers.
