Nutritional Yeast Salad Dressing (Low Oil)
A delicious low-fat take on my favourite salad dressing. Made with nutritional yeast, it's high in B vitamins, and thickened with cashews instead of oil.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp tamari (be sure to use tamari, other soy sauces won't taste the same)
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 large clove garlic
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes (with B12)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup cashews (soaked, if necessary) (use hemp seeds for a nut-free version)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or other mild oil) (or less, or omit)
Instructions
-
Place all ingredients, except oil, in blender jar. Blend until smooth (this can take anywhere from one to five minutes, depending on your blender). Slowly drizzle oil through the top with the motor running.
-
Chill for a couple of hours before using to allow dressing to thicken, and flavours to develop.
-
Serve over your favourite greens. This can also be used as a sauce on cooked vegetables and grains.
