Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This tangy red wine vinaigrette is simple, fast, and can be made in less than 3 minutes. Red wine vinegar is the most prominent flavor which is tempered by the cashew butter and nutritional yeast.
- Viscosity of the Dressing: This dressing is on the thin side, but still very lightly coats the salad ingredients.
- Cashew Butter: Cashew butter is a great neutral ingredient which adds some healthy fats, increases the thickness of the vinaigrette yet does not influence the flavor. You can substitute with the typical substitutions if you wish such as other nut or seed butters, white beans, or tofu. We have not tested any substitutions.
