Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Cannellini beans or Butter Beans
  • 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Capers
  • 1 tbsp Caper Juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp of vegan Worcester sauce
  • 1/4 cup of filter water more if needed

Instructions
 

  • Gather & Prep
    Peel the garlic and roughly chop it. Add it to your blender cup along with all the other ingredients except the lemon.
  • Blend & Adjust
    Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and blend until smooth. Taste the dressing—add more lemon, mustard, or capers if you'd like a bigger flavour kick. If it’s too thick, blend in a little more water.
  • Serve or Store
    Use it straight away over salads, roasted veggies, wraps or bowls. Or pour it into a glass jar with a lid and store it in the fridge for up to 1 week. It gets even better after a day as the flavours develop!

Notes

  • Start by adding 1/4 cup of water when blending, then add more or a splash of caper juice if the dressing feels too thick.
  • For an extra zing, add a little more lemon juice or Dijon mustard to brighten the flavour.
  • If you prefer a milder garlic taste, use half a clove instead of a whole one.
