Maisie Jane's recipe for a Balsamic Almond Butter Dressing, from her own kitchen, is sure to turn dull into delicious!
This dressing was designed for salads, of course, but we're quite certain it would be fantastic on chicken, fish or tofu. Try it on a hot dish of sweet potatoes, kale, tomatoes and one of those protein options tonight!
What makes this recipe work for me is the combination of vinegar and sweet with the earthy nutty flavor of almond or cashew butter mixed in. Imagine it in a stir fry dish right now—it's sure that would be delicious with a little soy sauce mixed in. Leave that out for the salad dressing though. Taste it as you go to get the mix just right for you.
It’s time to trade in those comfort food recipes for something a little more light and tangy. We’ve tried this recipe to make the perfect creamy dressing to drizzle on any salad, roasted veggies, or whatever your heart desires.
Balsamic Almond Butter Dressing
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yields: 8 oz
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar (we recommend our local Triple Play brand)
- 1.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp Maisie Jane's 100% Pure Honey
- 1/4 cup Maisie Jane's Smooth Almond Butter or (Maisie Jane’s Creamy Cashew Butter)
- 1.5 tbsp stone ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2-4 tbsp water to thin for desired consistency
Instructions:
- Add all ingredients to small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. I typically add 3 tablespoons. Alternatively you could whisk in medium bowl, but using a blender or food processor is best.
- Taste test the dressing to make sure you’re alright with the vinegar-sweetness ratio, adding more sweetener or more balsamic to taste.
- Serve with salads, roasted veggies, or even as a chicken or steak sauce.
- Store salad dressing in covered jar in refrigerator up to 1 week. Dressing may get thick after sitting in fridge. Add a little water and stir well with spoon before using.
