This salad dressing is made from the abundant fresh basil in our garden. It takes only a minute to mix together and is super delicious!
Basil Chickpea Salad Dressing
-3 cups fresh basil leaves
-1.5 cups chickpeas
-1/4 cup nutritional yeast
-1 tablespoon gluten-free tamari
-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-1 tsp olive oil(optional)
-1/4 cup-1/2 cup vegetable broth (depending on desired thickness)

This dressing pairs delightfully with your garden vegetables. I used it to dress my salad made of red cabbage, shaved zucchini, asparagus, yellow pepper, tomatoes, pistachios, and shallots.
I'm going to hire you to come cook for me. :) Everything you post looks wonderful!

Hey Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteLove the recipe, especially the colors of the salad. Just wanted to let you know I included it in my roundup this week. :)
thanks, kalinda!
ReplyDeleteGreat timing- I also have a ton of basil in the garden, and plain old pesto is starting to get old. I'm always up for a flavorful way to enhance the everyday salad!
