Creamy Nutritional Yeast Dressing
This Creamy Nutritional Yeast Dressing blends nutritional yeast with garlic, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos to create a smooth, tangy, and umami-rich dressing. The gradual addition of olive oil during blending ensures a silky texture. It works well as a dairy-free option to brighten and enrich salads or bowls with a savory depth.

Ingredients
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon
- ¼ cup coconut aminos or low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- black pepper to taste, ground
- ⅓ cup olive oil extra-virgin
Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients except olive oil into a blender. Blend until smooth and slowly add in the olive oil, with the blender on a low setting.
- I prefer making this dressing in a blender because it gets extra smooth and creamy, but if don’t have a blender you can easily make it by whisking all the ingredients together as well. Just make sure you mince your garlic really well.

Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the dressing thoroughly, but whisking is a good alternative if a blender is unavailable.
- Freshly minced garlic enhances the dressing's flavor more effectively than pre-minced options.
- Substitute water for olive oil to make an oil-free version, keeping a lighter but still flavorful dressing.
