Creamy Vegan Salad Dressing
Creamy Vegan Salad Dressing
Description
This creamy vegan salad dressing can be made in a blender, but I like to whisk it in a bowl for the satisfaction of watching it come together. Its thicker texture enrobes each element of the salad, creating a wonderfully rich result. The recipe offers fiber and vitamins A and K from romaine lettuce, immune-boosting antioxidants from garlic, and B vitamins from nutritional yeast.
NOTE
Sturdy salad leaves such as romaine lettuce stand up well to this full-bodied treatment.
Ingredients
2 to 4 SERVES
- 1 cup (200 g) vegan mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp (15 g) minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp (5 g) nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 4 cups (220 g) romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
Directions
-
Step 1
Blend or whisk the vegan mayo, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, vinegar, and a pinch of salt together until emulsified. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed. Toss the dressing with the lettuce, making sure every leaf is coated, and serve.
