Vegan French Dressing

Homemade Vegan French Dressing is not only easy to make, it is healthy as well. Made from raw cashews, this dressing tastes creamy and delicious without any added sugars or processed fats.

In fact, this dressing can be transformed into Thousand Island Dressing by adding chopped pickles.

In order to accommodate all diets, I have provided a nut free recipe as well.

French dressing, not only is great on salads, it also is a great sandwich spread or vegetable dip. Similarly, vegan thousand island is fabulous on a plant-based reuben, or as a drizzle on steamed vegetables.

Regardless of how you use this dressing, you will be pleased. My husband says it tastes just like the ‘real deal.’
