“Magical” Oil-Free Vegan Salad Dressing!

By vdub

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp mild miso (ex: brown rice miso)
• 3/4 – 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup (or more to sweeten to taste if desired)
• 1/4 tsp (rounded) sea salt (or more to taste)
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Using an immersion blender and deep cup (if using a blender, you may need to double the batch for enough blending volume), combine all ingredients, whizzing through until very smooth. Taste, and if you’d like a little sweeter add another teaspoon or so of maple syrup. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper as well. If you’d like a thinner dressing, simply add a couple of teaspoons of water and blend through again.
