Fat Free Dijon Salad Dressing
Description
The Fat Free Dijon Salad Dressing uses cannellini beans as a base to create creaminess without oil. Combined with Dijon mustard, honey for sweetness, apple cider vinegar for acidity, salt, and black pepper, the ingredients are blended until smooth. Additional water is added gradually to reach a pourable consistency suitable for dressing salads.
This dressing offers a balance of savory and sweet flavors along with a subtle tang from the mustard and vinegar. It lacks oil, which results in a lighter texture though not perfectly smooth, yielding a slightly thicker consistency than traditional dressings.
It can be stored chilled in an airtight container for up to five days. For those preferring a richer texture, a small amount of olive oil can be added without greatly increasing fat content.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cannellini beans drained and rinsed, canned
- ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey or agave
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
- 4-6 tablespoons water as needed
Instructions
- Combine beans, dijon, honey, salt, pepper, and vinegar in a blender or food processor. Pulse until very smooth.
- Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each, until dressing is smooth and pourable. Store chilled in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Notes
- Adding a few teaspoons of olive oil improves flavor and smoothness if a small amount of fat is acceptable.
- The dressing keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
- This recipe yields about 1 cup of dressing, suitable for several salads.
