Super Green Dressing
This is a simple & quick recipe for a dressing that is delicious on almost anything! It is vegan and nut-free and can be used as a dressing for a salad, to drizzle on steamed veg, a sauce for pasta, or to use as a dip for your crudites or sweet potato fries. If you prefer it to be a thicker consistency for a pasta sauce or dip, substitute 1 cup (½ can) chickpeas for the plant milk. Packed with greens, this sauce is full of phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins. And the tofu adds in the essential protein.
