Chili Almond Dressing
Description
The Chili Almond Dressing blends almond butter with lemon juice and tamari sauce to deliver a creamy and tangy base. Fresh ginger and garlic introduce aromatic and pungent notes, while the chili element adds a controlled heat without overpowering. A pitted Medjool date sweetens the dressing naturally, balancing the spice and acidity. Water adjusts the consistency, making it easy to drizzle or toss with ingredients.
All components are blended until smooth, preserving the rich texture of the almond butter and integrating the fiery chili evenly throughout. This dressing offers a unique alternative to typical vinaigrettes and works well on green salads, grain bowls, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter no sugar added, natural
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 Tablespoon tamari sauce low sodium, or soy sauce
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled, knob
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 Medjool date pitted
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek or 1 small chili pepper
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together in a high-speed blender. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Dressing will thicken as it sits so feel free to add a little liquid if needed.
