Lemon Maple Dressing

(Vegan)

Altered from Mary Bernt

• 1⁄2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1⁄2 tsp onion powder (or sometimes called granulated onion)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup real maple syrup (Trader Joe’s has a good price)
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup raw cashews, add more water to fill up the empty spaces between the nuts. Let the nuts soak in liquid about 30 minutes to soften before blending.

Blend lemon juice, maple syrup, water, cashews and dry ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. If you don’t have a Vitamix blender be sure to blend it long enough to get it creamy.

Great on spinach salad. Will last 10-14 days in the refrigerator.
