Creamy Cashew Dressing

Yonni Wattenmaker

I eat salads multiple times a week and I really prefer a light salad dressing. I want to be able to taste the flavors of my ingredients and enjoy the textures of the vegetables, nuts, seeds and proteins I choose to include.


I made this salad today and the dressing came out so well that it will 100% be on repeat in my repertoire!

Salad:

2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped

1/4 cup chopped cucumber

2 stalks chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped cilantro or dill

1 package smoked tempeh, chopped and pan toasted in avocado oil


Dressing:

2 tsps minced garlic (I used 1 Dorot frozen garlic cube)

1/3 cup raw Cashews

1 tbsp mustard

1 large caper berry or 8 small capers plus 2 tsp caper juice

1/3 cup water


Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and puree until smooth. I did not add salt or pepper but you can, or add more caper juice, to taste.
