Healthy Green Goddess Dressing Recipe
This is an incredibly versatile, delicious, healthy and phytonutrient dense dressing recipe that you can use on almost any meal. Use to dress a kale salad (as above) or any meal that you want to take to the next level. Anchovies are a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids but vegans can substitute savoury yeast flakes.
Makes roughly 1½ cups
Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 1 hour then drained and gently rinsed.
¼ cup capers
2 lge or 4 sml anchovies (substitute option - 1 T savoury yeast flakes)
2 lge handfuls of fresh green herbs - I like parsley, dill and basil
1 t Dijon mustard
½ cup filtered water, plus more if needed
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon (preferably organic)
2 T apple vinegar or lemon juice
1 t authentic maple syrup or 1/2 t monk fruit sugar
1 t sea salt
Ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Gently blend for 1-2 minutes, or until silky smooth. Use a little more or less or less water, depending on your desired consistency.
I start with about ½ cup and go from there.
Pour into an air tight glass jar (eg mason jar) and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
I hope this brings the Goddess (or best) in you! I hope you Enjoy!
