Great post, thanks for this! By the way, whenever i’m making something like this, I alway use Textuarants
OK. Great. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Fantastic on a kale salad with dried cranberries! Thanks!
Oh YUM! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Francesca!
Oh thanks! I can’t wait to hear what you think of some of the other recipes.
Oh, you are so sweet Tanyah. These dressings are really great to gaining confidence for making spectacular salads in minutes. SO glad you are enjoying the recipes.
I made this for a kale salad. I used blanched almonds (alkaline). Next time I may add a little more almonds and less olive oil. It was FANTASTIC!! It almost tasted like it had cheese in it. I am going to use it sometime as an alfredo sauce. So, so good! Thank you for sharing!
Oh, I am so pleased you enjoyed it. I love this one too.
Love this easy recipe! Our kids did too.
Awesome. I’m so glad you all enjoyed it 🙂
How long do you soak the cashews?
You can soak cashews the slow way for 2 hours by covering with filtered water, then rinsing and discarding the soaking liquid. Or, if you’re in a hurry, you can soak the quick way by pouring boiled water over them and soaking for 10 minutes. This method softens them for blending but kills live enzymes.
How long can this salad dressing stays good in the fridge?
About 5 days.
I noticed you recently updated the recipe since I began making this dressing with the super slaw about 1 year ago. The changes are perfect, great and amazing! Adding the onion powder rounds out the flavor to perfection! Thank you!
Thanks Natalie. I agree. I’ve tweaked some earlier recipes on the site to make them better. I’m glad you noticed and agree. Enjoy.
This dressing was super runny as-is. Luckily I had 1 cup of cashews soaked so I added the whole cup and it worked out perfectly. Very tasty!
Oh, thanks for sharing your experience. I will test that again.
