Hollyhock Salad Dressing

Picture
This is a famous recipe that originated at Hollyhock on Cortes Island.  Since then, this dressing has haunted my dreams. It’s just that good.

The key ingredient is nutritional yeast. If you’ve never tried nutritional yeast before, you are in for a treat. The flavour is savoury and cheese-like. You can buy it in most health food stores.

This recipe makes a substantial amount of dressing, but it won’t go to waste. It’s really good on rice or roasted vegetables. It would be perfect as a sauce for a Dragon Bowl.

My salad was a mix of baby spinach, red onion, sliced apples, pomegranate and walnuts but you can use your favourite blend. The dressing is very versatile.

Recipe :

Makes 2 cups
(vegan)

  • ¾ cup Engevita flake yeast
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tamari
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 large cloves of garlic
  • 1 cup grapeseed or sunflower oil


In a blender, combine yeast, water, tamari, vinegar and garlic for one minute. With the blender on high, remove the centre of the lid and SLOWLY drizzle in the oil. Stop the blender as soon as all the oil has been added. Keep in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks.
