Struggling to find a salad dressing that isn’t loaded with oil or unnecessary fats and sugar? Well, look no further. I have two fantastic salad dressing recipes for you that are free of added oil and sugar! The first one, is reminiscent of Thousand Island dressing which my husband has renamed “crack” because of its addictive quality. Too funny huh? The second is a creamy take on honey mustard dressing. This will hopefully help you all along and keep you from getting salad boredom.
Ingredients

2 cups raw, unsalted cashews
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 cup raisins
1 cup almond milk or any other plant based milk
tsp Braggs Liquid Amino Acids
Blend in blender until smooth.

Hi Jill, I got some useful pointers from your video and edited the recipe(s) to suit but I did give you and your plant based show due credit for my edited ingredients as I wanted to encourage fermentation and subsequent preservation without the need of refrigeration.
I like the format of your page with the recipes well set up for printing. I will subscribe to your channel and gave you a thumbs up.
All the best
Can you freeze the “crack” dressing?
I haven’t tried freezing it but I think it would work

I made the “crack” dressing today, and it is good. I will be making it again. Since I am only one person I cut the recipe in half, and it still made a huge amount. For some reason mine came out really thick, so I kept adding almond milk. I ended up with at least 3-4 cups of dressing.
My son has a nut allergy – is there any alternative to the cashews?
I m not sure I will find the amino acid. How does this affect the recipe? Thank you
It is a salty flavor but you can use low sodium soy sauce, tamari or just a little bit of salt.
