Cooking Time

Yields
2T = 1 serving of dressing

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup organic pumpkin puree (canned)

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup unfiltered apple cider vinegar

  • 1 T honey or pure maple syrup

  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 2T “nooch” nutritional yeast*

  • 1 tsp turmeric

  • ½ tsp salt (any salt that you prefer)

  • ½ tsp black pepper (to activate turmeric) 

Directions

In a hurry? Grab a whisk and mix ingredients. Store dressing in an airtight container for up to a week.

If you have 2 extra minutes, in a highspeed blender, combine all ingredients and mix. Optional here to add in 1-2T pumpkin seeds to add in more interesting texture.

*no nooch? No problem! First, add it to your list for the grocery store. Then, swap in ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon as a sweet alternative for this dressing.
