Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup hemp hearts
- 1/2 cup water, more to thin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, more to add richness
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon Apple Cider vinegar (or other pale vinegar)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (or sub 1 teaspoon white miso paste)
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (or dill or basil, or a combo- and chives are nice too)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except the herbs in a blender.
- Starting on low speed, gradually increasing, blend until creamy and smooth (make sure the garlic is blended).
- If you need to add another tablespoon or two of water, to get the blender going, that is fine.
- Add the herbs, blend until chopped up finely.
- This will be a good “dip” consistency. If you’d like a looser salad dressing, add a little more water or olive oil. (Just 2-3 tablespoons or so.) This is best served chilled, and will thicken in frigerator. Store in a sealed jar, or covered bowl in the fridge.
Notes
Adding the vinegar will extend it’s shelf life to 4-5 days. ( Insteading of using all lemon juice). Fee free to sub-soaked cashews for hemp hearts.
Hemp hearts can be found at most grocery stores in the bulk section, or baking section or online. They are also available at Costo and Trader Joe’s, sometimes called “hulled” hemp seeds.
