Creamy Nooch and Lemon Salad Dressing
Total Prep Time
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Prep Notes
Nutritional Yeast aka nooch is a delicious vegan alternative to cheese with a nutty/cheesy/salty flavor profile. Nooch is packed with vitamin B (the energy vitamin), Zinc for immunity and protein. Adding lemon = adding brightness and vitamin C. Double or triple this recipe in a ball jar with a tight lid and keep in the fridge for up to a week. This dressing is delicious on salads, roasted veggies and grilled chicken, pork or fish.
Yields
2 Servings
Ingredients:
3 T fresh squeezed lemon juice (no lemon juice? Use unfiltered apple cider vinegar!)
1 T Dijon mustard
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
2 tsp olive oil
¼ cup nooch
~¼ tsp sea salt
~1/8 tsp ground pepper
Optional:
1-2 T water to thin out dressing if preferable
Directions:
Mix all ingredients (except water) with a whisk. Taste and add water if desired.
Enjoy on salads, as a veggie dip or a topping sauce for fish, chicken or pork.
Tips:
Pour over huge bed of stripped lacinato or curly kale and get in there with your hands to massage the dressing in. This will loosen up the kale and take away the bitterness of this wonderful green.
Bulk up your salad with options such as roasted sweet potatoes, garbanzos, chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped pistachios, chopped walnuts, sliced red onion, seasonal veggies and fruit like pomegranate, ground cherries.
