Super Veggie Salad With Creamy Almond Dressing
I just bought a 3 pound bag of almonds from sam's club and this dressing is a wonderful way to use them! I hope you enjoy! this dressing thickens up after sitting for a few minutes, so you could actually use less oil(3/4 cup) and the rest water or maybe apple juice and it would be just as good and less calories! the dressing also makes a great dip!
Steps
Dressing:.
Place the almonds and water into a blender or food proccesor and turn on high speed to pure.
Add remaining ingredients , except for oil , and run to blend and whip thoroughly.
With the motor running , slowly pour in oil and run until the dressing is thick and creamy.
As stated in the description , you may use 3 / 4 cup oil and 1 / 4 cup water or apple juice and get a little thinner dressing.
Let sit for a few minutes to thicken up.
Salad:.
Put 1 / 2 cup of the dressing in the bottom of your salad bowl.
Add all ingredients , except lettuce , and toss to coat.
Serve:.
Put several lettuce leaves on each plate and add dressed salad.
Serve extra dressing on the side.
Enjoy !.
