Mango-Hemp Dressing
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
3/4 cup mango chunks ok to measure roughly, I use frozen
2 tbsp hemp seeds
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water + 2–3 tsp or more if desired to thin out
1/2 tbsp chopped shallots or 1 tbsp of the whitish portion of green onions
1-2 tbsp pure maple syrup or agave nectar or more to taste, as needed
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sea salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a blender, puree all ingredients (starting with 1/4 cup water and 1 tbsp maple syrup) until very smooth. Taste, and add additional water to thin as desired, and extra maple syrup to sweeten if needed.

Oil-Free Raspberry Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Ingredients
1 heaping cup of fresh raspberries, if you need to use frozen allow them to thaw first
1/2 cup of water
up to a 1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp maple syrup (more or less to taste)
a dash of salt and pepper
Do
Pour your raspberries, half of the water, half of the vinegar and maple syrup into a blender.  Add your salt and pepper.
Press the pulse button and allow to process until everything liquefies. Pour in slightly more water if needed.
Give your dressing a taste test. Add more vinegar and maple syrup if needed. Some berries are sweeter while others are sour so this isn’t an exact science. I made it as written above and it was perfect for us.
If you adjusted your ingredients pulse again until your salad dressing reaches the right consistency and flavor.
Your salad dressing will be a beautiful raspberry color and taste slightly sweet with just enough kick.
This will make about 1 1/2 cups depending on how much water you use. Store this dressing in the refrigerator and use within 5 days.

Black Bean Dressing

1/3 cup (57.33 g) black beans from the salad ingredients above or from another can, drained
3 to 4 Tbsp non dairy milk
1 tsp or more ground cumin
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) or more chipotle pepper ground or flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) onion powder or flakes
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) ground mustard
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) paprika
1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) turmeric for color, optional
1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) or more salt
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp pickled jalapeno or use chopped jalapeno + 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 to 3 Tbsp lime juice to taste
Blend the black beans, non dairy milk with the rest of the ingredients. Taste and adjust salt, spice and tang. Blend until smooth and keep aside. Use more beans and less non dairy milk for creamier dressing.


Low Fat Cheesy Vegan Pesto

Ingredients

    1 cup frozen peas (defrosted)
    2 large stalks of basil (about 15-20 leaves)
    1/4 cup nutritional yeast
    1/2 tsp salt
    Juice of half a lemon
    3-5 tbsps vegetable broth
    1 clove garlic

Instructions

    Combine all the ingredients except for the vegetable broth in a food processor or blender. Blend.
    Add the vegetable broth slowly and continue blending until you achieve your desired consistency.
    Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.


Quick & Easy Cauliflower Cream Sauce

    1 head of cauliflower, roughly chopped
    2 cups vegetable broth
    2 cups non-dairy milk 
    3 cloves garlic, peeled
    1/4 cup nutritional yeast
    2 teaspoons white miso paste (OR soy sauce OR more salt)
    1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

    Add the cauliflower, vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, and garlic to a big pot, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is very soft and falls apart when pierced with a fork.
    Now blend up the cauliflower mixture. You can use an emersion blender and blend everything together directly in the pot, or you can use a standing blender and blend the cauliflower and cooking liquid in batches, being careful not to fill the blender too high so the hot liquid doesn't explode out the top. Add the nutritional yeast, white miso paste, and salt and blend to combine.
    If you find your sauce is too thin, return the sauce to the pan and cook it down a bit more stirring often so it doesn't burn. If it is too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth or water.
    The ways to use this sauce are endless. Toss with pasta, mix into a casserole, top on pizza, make creamy scalloped potatoes, drizzle over baked potatoes, use in lasagna, you name it!
