sunflower garlic dressing
This raw, vegan, and gluten-free garlic sunflower seed dressing can be used as a super delicious dip or on a salad. You simply adjust the consistency by adding more or less water.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw sunflower seeds soaked for 1-2 hours
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1- 2 cups water + water for soaking
- salt & pepper to taste
- chives minced (optional)
- Add-ons
- a handful of cilantro
- 1/8 teaspoon of chipotle powder
- 1 tablespoon or 2 nutritional yeast for a "cheezy" flavor
Instructions
- SOAK. In a small bowl, soak the sunflower seeds in water for 1-2 hours.
- DRAIN. Drain and rinse the sunflower seeds, then pour them into a high-speed blender with 1 cup of water.
- BLEND. Add lemon juice, garlic gloves, salt, and ground pepper, then blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Adjust consistency to your liking by adding more water.
- TASTE. Adjust flavor to your liking by adding more lemon juice, salt & pepper. The garlic will become stronger as it sits in the refrigerator, so don't over do it.
