Hi Jill, doctor esselstyn is very strict about seeds and nuts as I have heart disease. Do you think this would be good without the hemp seeds?
Hello Danielle, I think it would still be ok. You could just replace them with more oats.
The water is missing from the ingredients list.
Love your site and your recipes … I just made your creamy Italian dressing and its a big hit in our household… If you ever get the chance and time to experiment to create a Green Goddess dressing like the one they sell at Trader Joe’s without all the oil please do share …I’ve been on a plant base diet for over 20r years and I think your site help us all stay on it.
thank you so much. Frank
You accidentally left out the water in the recipe. I watched the video to find out what I did wrong – oops! Fantastic dressing! Thank you!
Anything we can replace in your new salad dressing recipes if we can’t use oats?
You can use oats or sunflower seeds
I just made this dressing tonight for my salad and I love it! This dressing is a game changer since it has so much flavor and not so much fat. The oats and hemp hearts give such a nice creaminess. Brilliant idea! I can’t wait to try your other dressings!
This is excellent! I love it! Thank you!
Just made it with a little extra oats (didn’t have hemp hearts!) and it was fabulous!!! One of your best recipes to date! Thank you so much for this, I have struggled with finding a dressing recipe I like, and this one is as good as any I’ve had including those with oil! Want to try your other dressings now.
