Hi there, Ameera here!

This week’s Whip It Up Wednesday is our delicious Oil Free French Dressing. We are working our way through converting as many dressings as we can to Whole Food Plant Based.

We started developing this dressing early last year and set it aside because we felt it need a few more tweaks.

Those few tiny tweaks made the world of difference. This dressing tastes like the real deal and will knock your socks off with its oh so satisfying rich flavors. We absolutely love it!

Notes

*Thickness/Consistency: This is a thick-style dressing, add more water (a little at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.

*Maple Syrup: If you’ve had traditional French dressing, then you are aware that it is a very sweet style dressing. We enjoyed the 3 tablespoons of maple syrup to create that traditional sweet dressing flavor. However, different maple syrups have different sweetness levels. We suggest starting with a smaller amount and increasing until you reach your desired sweetness level.

*Tamari: We used San J Tamari Soy Sauce, Gluten Free, Reduced Sodium.  You can substitute the tamari with reduced sodium soy sauce, Braggs Liquid Aminos, or Braggs Coconut Liquid Aminos.

*Almond Butter Substitutes:  You can substitute the almond butter with other seed and nut butters with the understanding that the flavors will change accordingly.

*Sea Salt:  Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.

*Serving:  Makes approximately 1 1/3 cups of dressing.

*Storage:  Refrigerate and use within 7 days.
