Two of the many things I love about zucchini (courgette) is that it has a creamy consistency when blended and a relatively neutral flavor, which makes it a wonderful ingredient in savory salad dressings. It also helps to stretch out the fat in nut- or seed-containing salad dressings. When I first got started on my raw food journey, I used water for this purpose until I discovered how zucchini or summer squash can accomplish a similar end, while adding a creamy texture. Sometimes I peel the skin before using it in dressing for a lighter less-green looking dressing.
In addition to zucchini, this dressing contains lemon juice and cashews. Other nuts or seeds that work well with this dressing are walnuts and hemp seeds. I’ve also added a little green onion every now and then for the nice flavor it brings. Of course this is always optional.
Here is the recipe:
3 cups chopped peeled zucchini
1/2 cup cashews or nut/seed of your choice
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon onion (optional)
1 teaspoon chickpea miso (optional)
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Serves 1 to 2 people.
Enjoy!
