DR. FUHRMAN'S WALNUT VINAIGRETTE DRESSING



Dr. Fuhrman's Walnut Vinaigrette Dressing image

This is from a recipe on drfuhrman.com. It is the best vinaigrette I have ever tasted, healthy or not. Everyone who has tasted this salad dressing asks for the recipe. You need a high speed blender or food processor to make the dressing so the raisins and nuts blend with the rest of the ingredients. We have this dressing every day for lunch on a salad of romaine lettuce with extra toppings like green or red pepper, avocado, cucumber, grape tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, raw nuts, raisins, sesame seeds, ground flax seed, etc. We like the nuts left whole and put on the salad instead of putting them in the dressing but they should be included in the salad one way or the other to help the absorption of the nutrients in the salad. When I make it, I usually quadruple the dressing recipe and store it in glass jars in the refrigerator.

CREAMY CASHEW SALAD DRESSING



Creamy Cashew Salad Dressing image

I created this for my cousin who cannot eat (drum roll) dairy, soy, eggs, peanuts, or yeast. She wanted a creamy salad dressing, and after looking at others for inspiration, this is what we came up with. It is really nice, reminiscent of hummus, and pretty darn healthy! Please send notes and improvements!

ROASTED BROCCOLI GRAIN BOWL WITH NOOCH DRESSING



Roasted Broccoli Grain Bowl With Nooch Dressing image

This nutty, savory and deeply satisfying - not to mention vegan - grain bowl stands out because of a stellar sauce made of nutritional yeast, lemon, mustard and garlic powder that provides umami, brightness and spunk. The sauce works especially well on roasted brassicas like broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts, likely because the combination is reminiscent of broccoli-Cheddar soup. Keep a jar of the stuff on hand for grain bowls on demand. (It keeps for three days in the fridge.) Cook any cold-weather vegetables, use any leftover grains, incorporate any crunch, and maybe even add dill, apples or celery for freshness. The sauce will tie it all together.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds broccoli, cauliflower or a combination, cut into 1½- to 2-inch-long florets, stem sliced ¼-inch-thick, leaves reserved
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups cooked whole grains (such as farro, quinoa, or wheat berries), warm or room temperature
1/4 cup roasted, salted almonds, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place two baking sheets in the oven to heat.
  • In a large bowl (or two if you need), toss broccoli and cauliflower florets, stems and leaves, and the brussels sprouts with enough olive oil to coat (around ½ cup). Season generously with salt and pepper. (Don't wash the bowl.) Roast on the heated sheets, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through but leaving the vegetables themselves untouched, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the nutritional yeast, ¼ cup water, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, the lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the grains to the large bowl. Season and dress the grains with salt, lemon zest, and some of the nutritional yeast dressing to taste.
  • Top the grains with the roasted vegetables, then drizzle with some of the dressing. Top with the almonds.

Tips:

  • For a creamier dressing, use full-fat milk or yogurt.
  • To make a tangier dressing, use buttermilk or lemon juice.
  • Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a bit of spice.
  • Use a variety of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, for a more complex flavor.
  • Toast the nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
  • If you don't have time to toast the nuts, you can use store-bought roasted nuts.
  • Use fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Let the dressing chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Nutty dressings are a delicious and versatile addition to any salad. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dressing that is creamy, tangy, sweet, or savory. So next time you're looking for a new salad dressing, give one of these nutty recipes a try.
