INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup Sunflower Seeds, pre-soaked for 4 hr.
  • 1/2 cup water and more to thin the dressing
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 garlic clove or 2-3 tablespoons chives
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley (or dill or basil)
  • lemon zest to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Place all ingredients, except the herbs, into a blender
  2. Starting on low speed, gradually increasing, blend until creamy and smooth.
  3. Gradually add more water to achieve the desired consistency
  4. Add the herbs, blend until chopped up finely, or blend longer for a creamier consistency
  5. Use less water for a “dip” consistency. If you’d like a looser salad dressing, add a little more water or oil. Served it chilled. The dressing will thicken in the refrigerator. On the following day, you may add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to bring out flavors
