Fiery Red Pepper Dressing

July 12, 2013 by christine

TGIF! So happy the weekend is finally here and we’re getting ready to sneak out for dinner even though this little guy would like us to stay parked on the couch!

I had another vegan dilemma last night, I wanted to go to the farmer’s market, but had plenty of veggies to eat in our garden and we got a farm box. I just couldn’t justify buying more and ended up raiding the garden of corn, tomatoes, and white cucumbers to make a salad.

And I couldn’t wait to use these gorgeous tomatoes we received in the farm box.

I threw together an interesting salad with the veggies.

And created a hemp seed dressing with a little kick to go with the salad.

Fiery Red Pepper Dressing

  • 1 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • salt to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve as a salad dressing, dip, or spread. Makes 4 servings.

The texture is smooth and creamy, perfect for crisp veggies. I coated a large salad serving with it and topped with more nutritional yeast because sometimes you just can’t have enough. :-)

The dressing is a little spicy, it has some heat from the cayenne which I liked. But you can reduce of leave out the cayenne to reduce the heat. It also has a savory and tangy flavor with a great blend of basil and pepper.

    I missed our Farmers Market this past week and I doubt I can make this next weekend either! Eeeek! I was lucky enough – as you saw on Instagram – to visit a Whole Foods nearly 3 hours from my house! LOL :)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the sounds of this firey red pepper! YAY!

    I swear, I live to read your salad dressing recipes. I have zero imagination in that dept, and one thing that’s going to make or break a killer salad is the dressing!
