CREAMY OIL-FREE DRESSING

If you’ve followed me for a bit, you probably know… I love creamy everything.

But even better when that creaminess comes from real food and zero oil.

This cashew-based dressing is one of my kitchen staples:

easy, fast, super versatile, and naturally packed with plant nutrients.

It’s the perfect way to add flavor, richness, and satisfaction to your meals without the heaviness that most store-bought dressings bring.

This recipe gives you a simple base, and from there you can turn it into a ranch or a Caesar style dressing.

And because it’s made from whole ingredients, it brings plant protein, healthy fats, and a little fiber, all things that help support steadier energy and better blood-sugar balance.

Creamy, flavorful, and wellness-friendly… I promise you’ll want to put it on everything. 💚

Black pepper to taste
