Nutmeg Notebook Creamy Balsamic Dressing

1 box or can of cannellini beans no salt added, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar *
3 to 4 Medjool dates – pitted (depends on how sweet you like it – you could use less or more)
4 teaspoons Dijon Mustard or no salt added mustard
1 cup unsweetened plant milk ( I use almond milk, use soy milk or oat milk for a completely nut free recipe)
2-3 teaspoons Garlic & Herb no salt seasoning or you could use 2 fresh garlic cloves
Mix all the ingredients together in a high power blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix until smooth and creamy. It thickens after chilling in the fridge.

If you have a regular blender you might try soaking the dates in warm water to soften them so they will blend better.

*For a slaw salad I suggest you use the white balsamic vinegar – Trader Joe’s has a good one and other stores also sell white balsamic vinegar. The lighter color looks better on a slaw. The white balsamic is a lighter flavor but it still makes a yummy dressing.

This just popped up on my feed. I am so excited to try it. Made it for dinner tonight. I get so burned out on salads and it is so hard to find a good plant based dressing. Thanks so much!

[Antaluth]

This dressing ROCKS! I was getting so frustrated; I love salads, but couldn't find a recipe for a dressing that wasn't loaded with oil or cashews. Deep bow of gratitude to you, Tami.

[karenhicks]

This recipe has helped me move my husband from an oil based dressing to no oil!

[deenagle]

we dont have any of those stores you mention here in Ireland, so i am grateful you suggest alternatives!!

Wow! I was so surprised how delicious this dressing is! I make my own beans so I used regular northern white beans because I could not find Cannellini beans. This is a keeper! Thanks!!!

[GlammyBee]

Thank you!!! Balsamic vinaigrette has always been my go-to before recently switching to a wfpb diet. This is a keeper and will be my go-to dressing recipe! (I added some water to thin the consistency a little (personal pref), but I absolutely loved the flavor! I've been enjoying all of your recipes I've tried and have a queue of those I can't wait to try!

[rebaama]

im already subscribed so how to i get the creamy strawberry balsamic dsg recipe--it sounds delish!

[cheriemiller]

Good tip on counting the dates and pits. It will save you from grinding the pit. I have done that one. LOL Looking forward to making this dressing.

[charv]

Thanks Tami....really enjoy watching your cooking demonstrations. Recently made your banana oat muffins and love them. Can’t wait to try this dressing.

[MrGraphmark]

Yum! Just tried this tonight. Did not have dates. But I used a 4.6% balsamic and unsweetened almond milk so I didn’t need them. Thanks!

[fifteenbyfive]
