Easiest Lemon Hemp Dressing

by

Our Christmas tree is finally up and I put enough lights on it for a few trees I think!

Christmas cheer is in the house too, these two have been peacefully sharing the cuddle cube bed in front of the fireplace which is rare.

And lemon trees are in full bloom, I scored a huge bag of lemons from my sister to use up and more keep showing up at work.

I used lemon juice to make simple, oil free, baked lemon dill potato wedges that came out good. And used one up in this simple, tangy, and garlicy hemp dressing.

Creamy Lemon Hemp Dressing

  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • ½ cup water, as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 2-4 servings.

This creamy dressing is a comforting, summery flavor to enjoy when winter gets you down. And enjoy it coating a variety of veggies.

The creamy and rich texture packs a bright citrus zing and pairs well with a hearty meal salad.

The strong flavor would also pair well with beans, grains, and many hearty salad ingredients.

  1. Aw, I love your tree! I’m such a sucker for Christmas decorations… And I’m Jewish, for crying out loud! I should just get myself a silly Hanukkah bush and stop lusting after everyone else’s majestic saplings. ;)

  2. I love the new title of your blog!!!! And I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, you have the best dressing recipes ever!!! Lemon is the best flavor ever. It just makes my world go round. Your tree is adorable. I’m a total light freak, I put, I think 15 strands of lights on (what was I thinking!?!) The tree is totally going to topple over.

  4. Haha! Same with my two chihuahua’s, when they share sleeping space it’s rare. Let’s just say that they tolerate each other. ;)

    Lemon season! You don’t know how jealous I am of you Cali people-haha! That dressing sounds amazing.

    • So true, Miko is a little cuddle guy and Leela is not so much, lol.

      I wish I could send you some lemons, I need to make room for tangerines from our tree next!
