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.
