Sometimes, you make a salad dressing that is so good that it causes you to eat more salad. It doesn’t have to be a dressing filled with cheese, ketchup, or some other unhealthy product in order to taste great. This dressing, for example, only contains 5 ingredients and you can put it on just about anything. Dress your salads, pour it over Buddha bowls, drizzle it on potatoes, or pour it over anything else you can think of. Okay, maybe don’t pour it over cereal or ice cream, but it works with so many other recipes.
Nutritional yeast is valuable currency for vegans and raw vegans alike. It is a deactivated yeast that works as a cheese substitute in vegan and raw vegan recipes. Not only does it impart a cheesy flavor to your food, but it is also a great source of nutrients, especially vitamin B12, which can be tricky for vegans to get without supplementation. Nutritional yeast also contains protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.
The dressing is very simple to make and you can tinker with the measurements over time. Perhaps you decide to add a little bit of this or that to enhance this already delicious dressing. Great additions include ginger, green onion, cilantro, raw sesame seeds, grade A maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. What goes great with such a creation?
