My personal favorite - So tangy, thick and downright delicious! It could be thinned slightly for a wonderful salad dressing as well.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup macadamia nuts

1/2 cup cashews (alternate, use 1 cup cashews is macadamias are not on hand)

1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon water

5 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

3/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder

1 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons finely chopped sun dried tomato

(The ones I used were packed in olive oil but you could use dried ones that have been soaked for a little while)

DIRECTIONS:

1) Blend all but the cilantro and tomato, until completely smooth and creamy.

2) Add the last two ingredients and blend on low very briefly to keep texture.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole Avocado

½ whole Jalapeno (if oreferred)

¼ cups Apple Cider Vinegar

3 T Lime juice

3 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice

1 clove Garlic

¼ cups Cilantro

¼ cups Water For Thinning

¼ teaspoons Salt

1 pinch Black Pepper

Maple Syrup to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice avocado in half and remove pit. Then use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the peel and into a food processor or blender. Cut jalapeno in half and scrape out seeds and ribs from one half. Add this half to your food processor or blender. Add the remaining ingredients (except the maple syrup) into the food processor or blender, put the lid on and whiz it up for about a minute or until smooth and creamy. Add a drizzle of additional water if you’d like it thinner. Taste, add maple syrup if you wish to taste.

Consistency should be like a ranch salad dressing consistency.

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
