Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1 cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the white beans, Dijon mustard, honey, white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the beans are fully pureed.
- Adjust Consistency: Add water one tablespoon at a time to the dressing, blending after each addition. Continue this step until the dressing reaches your desired consistency—thin enough to drizzle but still creamy.
- Serve or Store: Use the dressing immediately on your salad, or pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate. The dressing will keep fresh for up to 5 days. Remember to shake or stir the dressing well before each use as it may thicken upon chilling.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- Adjust the amount of water depending on the thickness you prefer for your dressing.
- The dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Use high-quality canned white beans for the best texture and flavor.
- You can add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor, if desired.
