SUNFLOWER CREAM SALAD DRESSING(vegan)

Quick and Easy Vegan Creamy Salad dressing

So I was experimenting in the kitchen today and came up this amazing and delicious dressing.

I also discovered that sunflower seeds get all thick and creamy when whizzed and is a great replacement for vegan mayo or other vegan creamy condiments.

Anyways back to the dressing, you probably already have 90% of the ingredients and if you don’t they are very easy to find in your grocery store. This dressing  initially started as a kale salad dressing made with all the ingredients from my favourite Kale chips then I realised it goes with almost everything.

Speaking of Kale chips you can mix this dressing on some fresh Kale, bake at 150 c for 20mins and hello delicious crunchy kale chips.

Here is how to make the dressing.

Ingredients

• 50g-70g Sunflower seeds- The more sunflower seeds you use the creamier your dressing will be.
• Juice of one lemon or 2 tablespoons
• 25g or 5 pitted dates or dried raisins
• ¼ teaspoon of salt( you can add more according to your taste).
• 1 Clove of garlic
• ¼ of a medium onion or 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 100-150ml of water- Depending on how thick you want it.
• Optional ingredient-  ¼ teaspoon of Xanthan gum (It is 100% vegan, natural, it thickens and helps the mixture not separate). To find out more about it check out this article.
