Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1 cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the white beans, Dijon mustard, honey, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition until your desired dressing consistency is reached. This will ensure the dressing is pourable but still thick enough to coat your salad.
- Serve or Store: Use the dressing immediately on your favorite salads or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep fresh for up to 5 days. Remember to shake or stir well before each use as natural separation may occur.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- Adjust the salt and pepper levels according to your taste preferences.
- This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If the dressing thickens too much after refrigeration, thin it with a little water and blend again.
- White beans add creaminess and protein, making this dressing more nutritious than typical store-bought options.
