Healthy Thousand Island Dressing

Eating Clean

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in June (2017). We decided to relax and watch Netflix and happened on "What the Health" and the rest is history. Click for "What the Health" for the whole story.

Update: It's been nearly a year of being vegan with a couple 'cheats. Of late, while continuing to research, we began to wonder about adding fish - and I don't mean over-processed fish sticks, but sustainably pole and line caught salmon and wild Alaskan salmon.

Use the search box to find specific items I've posted in the past. This is a blog so I post as I go and there is no rhyme or reason to the list. You may be taken to an old recipe that might include meat/dairy.

Whether you're vegan or not, this is a great dip for fresh vegetables!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raw cashew butter OR 1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk (or other non-dairy milk)
2 T. balsamic vinegar
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 t. dried dill weed (or 1-2 T. fresh dill)
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
3 T. tomato paste
1 rounded T. date sugar or 1-2 pitted dates
1/4 cucumber, peeled
1/4 cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion

Directions:

In a food processor or high-powdered blender, blend the cashews, milk, vinegar, lemon juice, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, tomato paste, date sugar (or pitted dates), and peeled cucumber until smooth.
Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the finely chopped cucumber and onion.

NOTE: I used my smoothie blender for extra smoothness.
