Creamy Vegan Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette
Servings 1 1/4 cups (approximately)
Equipment
- blender (preferably high-speed, otherwise soak seeds overnight)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds soaked in warm water for 15 minutes
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 100% juice, squeeze oranges yourself — you will need around 2 oranges
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup filtered water
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- After seeds are soaked, drain and rinse them well.
- Add all of the seeds, orange juice, vinegar, oil, maple, a pinch salt, a pinch pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water to your blender. Start the blender on low and gradually increase the speed to its highest setting. Blend until smooth.
- The dressing will probably be thick, add more water as needed (about 2 tablespoons at a time). Once the desired consistency is reached, taste and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
