Making Broccoli A Decadent Dressing Again

by

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!

  1. 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.
