Thick & Creamy (Vegan!) Pesto Dressing

Thick & Creamy (Vegan!) Pesto Dressing



This is a great dressing for a vegan grain & veggie bowl.  I like it drizzled over a bowl of quinoa (or rice), garbanzo beans (or lentils), greens, radish, avocado, and red onion.  Delish!

Ingredients:


  • 12-15 leaves of basil
  • Handful spinach leaves
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 6 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • Sprinkle dried oregano
  • Handful roasted, salted sunflower seeds
  • Sprinkle pepper
  • Sprinkle salt
  • 1/8 cup flax seed
Directions:

1.  Put all ingredients in a food processor/blender (I like Vitamix).  Blend until smooth. 

2.  Add extra olive oil and/or a bit of water to reach desired consistency.  Extra flax seed will make it thicker, extra sunflower seeds will make it crunchier.
