Cooking Lesson #589: Tangy Tamari Dressing

…from the Perspectives’ Kitchen

How you doin’? If you’re bored with the same-old, same-old salads, try adding a tangy twist to your repertoire.
 
This tangy and flavorful dressing has a smooth 'zip' to it because of nutritional yeast and garlic powder. It's a great dressing for salads of any kind. It works great as a dipping sauce as well.
 
Anyone who is looking for something different will definitely enjoy this dressing. The best part is that it takes only minutes to make. Vegetarians will love it for its protein- packed, light, clean taste.
 
Prep time:  10 minutes
Yield:  2 cups—16 servings
 
Ingredients 
1 cup olive oil
1 cup nutritional yeast (I prefer Bragg)
2/3 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce; I prefer Kikkoman)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
 
Directions

1. Blend olive oil, nutritional yeast, tamari, cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and thyme together in a food processor or blender until dressing is smooth.
2. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

 
ChefSecret: The lemon juice is the key ingredient to heighten freshness and brightness of flavor. Adding a thin slice of lemon to a sandwich does the same thing.
