Hollyhock Dressing

This might be misleading, but there aren't Hollyhocks in this dressing. It's a recipe from a retreat on Cortes Island called Hollyhock Retreat Centre. I got it from our Farm Manager, Brady. The recipe makes a wonderful salad dressing, but I usually double the nutritional yeast to make a thick spread. I use this on sandwiches, toast, veggies and pasta, or I can add a 1/2 C of it with some olive oil and a splash of cider vinegar for the original dressing on a tasty raw salad. I store it in a glass bail top jar, so it's easy to reuse, and keeps it fresh for about 3 weeks.

Hollyhock's Nutritional Yeast Dressing

1 C Large Flake Nutritional Yeast

1/3C Tamari

1/3C Apple Cider Vinegar

2-4 cloves garlic, chopped

1.5 C sunflower or olive oil depending on preferences

1/3C H2O

Crush the garlic and process in food processor until finely chopped. Add Nutritional Yeast, tamari, and vinegar. Process for 30 seconds and then add H2O, processing for 30 seconds to 1 minute until throughly mixed. Add the oil slowly, pulsing the processor to mix.

For a thicker dressing or spread I leave out the H2O, and double the nutritional yeast. I usually add the oil slowly and stop when it gets to a good consistency.

I haven't found anyone whom doesn't like this dressing yet. Kids love it. So do dogs. And it's good for both!
