Vegan Miso Salad Dressing Recipe

Posted on May 14, 2010 by continuum wellness| Leave a comment

OK this recipe is for salad dressing and it sounds so tasty. Consider too, by making your own salad dressing you can use a high quality organic olive oil or a cold pressed oil of your choice.

Here goes:

Miso & Nutritional Yeast Dressing Recipe

Ingredients:

1 Cup Oil
1 Cup Vinegar (we use Apple Cider)
1 Cup Nutritional Yeast Flakes (aka Nut Yeast)
1 Tbsp Miso (we make our own but whatever miso you have is fine)
3-5 cloves of garlic

Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Some folks like to add the oil last and drizzle it in for maximum emulsification but I think the nut yeast holds it all together just fine.

The result is a delicious thick dressing with the zip of vinegar and the bite of garlic and a rich miso and nut yeast flavor.

Almonds can be used to make a delicious ‘nut milk’. Almond milk can be used as a nutritious beverage, in cereal and as a base for smoothies. Here are a few nutrition benefits of almonds:

  • Eating almonds has been shown to lower serum cholesterol and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
  • Almonds are a rich source of phenolic antioxidants and vitamin E and have a demonstrated anti-oxidant effect.
  • Alkalizes the blood.
  • Helps to build up the body.
  • 1 oz of almonds = 164 calories, approx. 23 nuts, 6.0 grams of protein.

The following recipe is very forgiving and you can easily adjust the quantity of nuts/water to your personal taste, as in if you prefer a richer flavor.

Almond Milk

1/2 cup of almonds (soaked overnight)
2 cups of water

Place all the ingredients in a blender. Liquefy and strain the liquid. The pulp can be used in other dishes such as muffins or added to gravy.

Enjoy!
