Omega-Rich Balsamic Vinaigrette

 Omega-Rich Balsamic Vinaigrette

Omega-Rich Balsamic Vinaigrette, a super boost of antioxidant- and anti-inflammatory- rich ingredients, is delicious on top of a variety of savory plant-based recipes! Golden turmeric (helpful for both anti-cancer and type 2 diabetes prevention), omega-rich flax meal, tangy dijon mustard, sweet and sour balsamic vinegar, and protein-packed hemp seeds create a nourishing and extraordinary vinaigrette that you’ll be delighted to use day in and day out.

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: none
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• ¼ cup water (plus more as needed)
• 1 Tbsp flax meal
• 1 Tbsp hemp seed
• 2 tsps Dijon mustard (or brown mustard)
• 1 ½ Tbsps balsamic vinegar
• ½–1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 dash ground black pepper (optional)
• 2 tsps pure maple syrup
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp tahini (optional, see Chef’s Notes)
• salt (optional, to taste)

Directions

1. Add all ingredients, except the tahini and salt, to your blender or food processor, starting with ½ teaspoon turmeric. Alternatively, you could use a mixing bowl since the hemp seeds won’t fully blend
2. Blend until all of the ingredients are combined.
3. Taste for additional ingredients of choice.
4. Add tahini if you’d like a more creamy consistency and slightly nutty flavor.
5. Taste for optional salt (but, we think it’s great without it!).

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute dijon mustard with brown mustard or whole grain mustard.

Substitute balsamic vinegar with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

Consistency
If you plan to use this dressing immediately, the consistency should be like a light dressing. If you make this dressing ahead of time and store it for later, the flax meal will absorb much of the water, making it more like a sauce with a thicker consistency. In this case, add 1–2 tablespoons of water at a time, once again, until you reach the desired consistency.

Tahini
We recommend first making this recipe without the tahini then taste-testing to see if you’d like the dressing to be creamier and have a slightly nutty flavor. The dressing without the tahini will be a much thinner consistency. Tahini helps to create a creamier texture.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

 5 tbsp water

 1 medium lemon (juiced)

Chef's Notes

Don’t like cilantro? Use ½ cup basil.

Prep Ahead
Make it ahead of time! Green Goddess Dressing will keep for 5 to 7 days in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator.

Use orange juice or pineapple juice for maple free, or simply try omitting the maple.

Salt and pepper really aren’t needed here, but add a sprinkle if you’d like.

Chef's Notes

Determine your consistency
If needed, add water a bit of water to create the consistency you need. If using the paste in baked recipes, use as little water as possible. If the paste is runny, it will add additional moisture to the recipe and may negatively impact the finished product.

Add a variety of flavors
For a different flavor note, add a pinch of ground spice, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

Add sea salt with a bit of fresh lemon juice.

Add vanilla extract or the seeds of a vanilla pod before blending for vanilla-flavored paste.

How to use
Use on top of morning grains.

Use to sweeten smoothies and desserts.

Add to marinades and dressings.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to three months.

Green Superhero Dressing

 Green Superhero Dressing

Whether you're a plant-based newbie or have been a plant-based foodie for a while, Green Superhero Dressing is a creamy, dreamy, and simple way to introduce greens to your meals. Complete with wholesome everyday superfood ingredients like avocado and spinach that deliver a range of nutrients to help elevate your health to the next level, this luscious and savory dressing is a wonderful addition to any revolutionary plant-based meal.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: none
Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• ½ cup organic spinach leaves (packed)
• ½–¾ cup avocado (ripe, chopped)
• ½ Tbsp organic miso (mellow white or chickpea)
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp salt (optional)
• ⅓–½ cup water (or more to thin as desired)
• 1–1 ½ Tbsps lemon juice (or red wine vinegar)
• 1 tsp pure maple syrup (or date paste, link in Chef’s Notes)
• ground black pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Puree the spinach, avocado, miso, mustard, salt (if using), ⅓ cup of water, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice (or vinegar), maple syrup, and black pepper until smooth.
2. Add more lemon juice or other seasonings to taste. If using the extra amount of avocado, use extra water to thin.
3. Toss into a favorite salad right away, such as the Spinach Jewelled Salad, or refrigerate in a covered jar for a day or two.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Substitute spinach with arugula or baby kale. Note these two greens have a stronger and more bitter flavor compared to spinach.

Substitute avocado with ¼ cup soaked cashews.

Whole Food Sweetener
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.

Additions
If you enjoy the flavor of fresh basil, try adding a little — up to ¼ cup of leaves. Do not add dry basil; the flavor is quite different for a dressing.

Serving Suggestions
This dressing is so good you can use it for more than salads. Toss into pasta or cooked grains, drizzle over pizza or burritos, or use a little less water and make it more of a dip!

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
