Hello from Austin! We arrived today for Vida Vegan Con, my first one and sadly the last one of these conferences so I’m glad to be attending! I will have a ton of posts and pics coming soon when we have faster wifi. Before we left, I was getting the pouty look from Miko because he managed to rip a huge hole in his snowman toy and he knew I was trying to take it away so he wouldn’t swallow any of the stuffing.
And he was trying to sneak it back off the table!
It’s been stashed away until I can decide if it can be repaired and washed, ick!
I have been focusing on salads and healthier recipes knowing we’ll be splurging in Austin with rich vegan eating. And I had broccoli to use up before we left, so this is a simple, smokey broccoli-based dressing recipe that gets it’s creamy texture from nutritional yeast and a kicky flare from turmeric and mustard.
Creamy Cheesy Broccoli Dressing
- 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric
- 1 tbsp. miso paste
- 1/2 cup water
Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 2-4 servings.
The color is a beautifully vibrant green.
It coated a romaine salad with apple and tofu chunks to make it a meal salad.
And added a cheesy and savory smokiness to it with a creamy and smooth texture.
Not a bad way to enjoy raw broccoli!
Your creamy cheesy dressing looks fantastic, I wouldn’t have thought of it myself, but that’s the point of reading food blogs =) I love anything with broccoli in it. Can’t get enough of it.
Thanks and agreed on broccoli, it’s such a super food.
Yum I love broccoli, it’s soo healthy! I’m vegetarian and contemplating becoming vegan. :)
Very cool on going vegan, please let me know if you have any questions!
I’m so jealous you got to go to vvc I didn’t realize it was the last one until you and Jason wrobel mentioned it eeeek
I know on VVC, I finally make it to one and it’s the last one – boo! But there seems to be a motivated group of vegans looking to create a similar event soon!
