Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your pistachio nuts are not pre-shelled, shell them first.
- Make sure the dates are pitted.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the following ingredients: 1 cup (240g) water, 1 cup (120g) shelled pistachio nuts, and 1/4 cup (60g) lemon juice.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Add 2 tbsp (14g) flaxseed, 1 tbsp (1g) sea salt, 2 tsp (10g) Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp (1.55g) garlic powder, 1/6 tbsp (1.19g) nutritional yeast, and 3 pitted dates (22g) to the blender.
- Blend again until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Depending on your preference, you may want to adjust the consistency. If the dressing/dip is too thick, slowly add a bit more water until you reach your desired consistency.
- If it's too thin, blend in additional pistachios or flaxseed to thicken it slightly.
- Taste the dressing/dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt, lemon juice, or mustard for more flavor, blending again as needed.
- Pour the dressing/dip into a clean jar or container.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Serve it as a dip for vegetables, a dressing for salads, or even a sauce for grain bowls.
Tips:
- Soak the pistachio nuts in water for a few hours before blending to ensure a smoother texture.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste preference for a more or less tangy flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use less water or add more pistachio nuts.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly to achieve a creamy and smooth dressing.
