Ingredients
- 2 jalapeno pepper fresh
- ½ cup vegan mayonnaise homemade or store-bought
- 3 tablespoons cashew nuts or raw sunflower seeds, raw
- ½ cup cilantro or more to taste, chopped, fresh
- ½ cup salsa verde
- 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 small lime, fresh
- ½ tespoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim the stems from the jalapenos and slice the peppers lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and reserve them for adjusting the spice level. Roughly chop the jalapenos.
- In a blender, combine all ingredients except the seeds (unless you know you want to include them all)! Slowly increase to high speed, and blend until creamy. Taste the dressing and decide how much of the seeds to add, and adjust the seasonings as desired. Blend again until completely smooth.
- If the dressing is too thick, adjust the consistency anytime by whisking or blending in a small amount of water.
- Pour the dressing into a lidded jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Tip: The fat content in the mayo and nuts/seeds really tones down the spiciness of the jalapenos. So even with 2 whole jalapenos and most of the seeds, we don't find the salad dressing to be very spicy. But it doesn't hurt to start with less, then taste and adjust.
- Store jalapeno dressing in a lidded jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
