Walnuts
The walnuts are the base of this recipe – it is what provides that creamy texture we’re looking for.
Smoked Paprika
The smoked paprika provided a pinch of color and smoky flavor to the dressing.
Dijon Mustard
Dijon mustard helps brings another layer of creaminess. Additionally, it adds a touch of spiciness and umami.
Dates
We’re using dates as a plant-based, whole food sweetener to mellow out the flavor profile of the dressing. In addition to of course bringing a soft sweetness.
Garlic
This is the star of the recipe. One garlic clove will go a long way to bringing a zippy garlic flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup walnuts
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 dates pitted, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove peeled
INSTRUCTIONS
Set a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the roughly chopped walnut pieces. Dry cook and toss the walnuts until golden, about 5 minutes. Toasting the walnuts will soften its bitterness and enhance its flavor. If you want to keep this recipe raw, skip the toasting.
In a high-speed blender, add all of the ingredients including the walnuts. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Refrigerate and chill in a container for at least one hour.
