Making a Tasty, Healthy Salad Dressing

In this latest episode of Reluctantly Healthy, I show Judy Greer how to make my all-time favorite DIY whole food, plant-based oil-free Maple Mustard Dressing.

Here is the recipe:

In a blender combine the following ingredients and blend on high until smooth:

  • 2/3-1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1/4 cup sesame tahini paste
  • 2-3 TB. tamari (or Bragg’s amino acids or low-sodium soy sauce)
  • 3 TB. Dijon mustard (or stoneground or yellow mustard, depending on preference)
  • 2-3 TB. 100% pure maple syrup
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 can white beans, rinsed well (optional to reduce fat and thicken dressing)

  1. This sounds really good! I'm about to embark on a plant-based diet with no added oils and I was so worried how I would be able to dress up my salads. Thanks!

  2. Great recipe – thank you! I am always looking for tasty, easy dressings to put on veggies – just to keep them interesting. I watched part of the video on Yahoo – found it a bit difficult since I only wanted the recipe.
