This is a super easy and quick recipe which can be used as a salad dressing or a vegetable dip. There is only 1 TBS of oil, and a tiny bit of sweetener and salt. It makes 3 generous cups of thick flavorful dressing in about five minutes time. I used my Vitamix to make this, but you could probably also use a food processor too.
This would also be a great topping for a baked potato too.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 TBS olive oil
2 TBS maple syrup
2 cloves fresh garlic, pealed
3 TBS diced onion
1 TBS plus 1 tsp organic, gluten-free tamari
2 tsp dry dill weed
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp onion powder
Directions:
1) Place the sunflower seeds and water into the blender and blend on high until creamy.
2) Add all remaining ingredients and process one last time -- stop once to make sure that everything is getting mixed -- including around the blades. Then transfer to a glass jar and store in the refrigerator. You can use right away, but the flavor will improve after about 12 hours.
