Vegan Creamy Garlic Salad Dressing

• servings: 1 serving
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

1/3 cup walnuts

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

2 dates (pitted, roughly chopped)

1 garlic clove (peeled)

Directions

Set a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the roughly chopped walnut pieces. Dry cook and toss the walnuts until golden, about 5 minutes. Toasting the walnuts will soften its bitterness and enhance its flavor. If you want to keep this recipe raw, skip the toasting.

In a high-speed blender, add all of the ingredients including the walnuts. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Refrigerate and chill in a container for at least one hour.
