MUST HAVE OIL FREE VEGAN SALAD DRESSING RECIPE » oil free, sugar free, nut free hemp seed ranch

welcome to the whole food plant-based cooking show or we make plant-based cooking easy I'm Jill and this is number one in our oil nut and sugar free vegan salad dressing series today's recipe is hemp seed ranch because it's the AVI [Music] all right so before we make our salad dressing we need something to put the salad dressing on so we're gonna make a really quick simple salad something that I would typically eat in a day so I'm gonna start with kale cuz I love kale salad but you can use whatever salad you want I'm just gonna you know preface salad really quick so I have something to put my salad dressing on so one tip with kale if you saw Jane and and esselstyn's little video they did a video about stripping kale so you just take your stock in one hand and you pull with the other and that makes it way simpler than trying to cut out the stalks even though sometimes you get a little there's a little piece left in there but we can get that out easy so we're doing the salad recipe or began uary we're doing a series of salad dressings because you need to be eating salad when you're on a plant-based diet salads are every day and if you don't have a good dressing you go on that salad you're not gonna be eating salad coz it's not gonna encourage you right you need something delicious to put on that salad but if you struggled like us and gone to the grocery store and tried to look for an oil-free nut-free sugar-free dressing impossible I've tried it so I'm gonna show you how to make a really delicious simple dressing that's going to keep you eating your salads so I'm just going to chop up my kale a little bit I don't want any other those huge big chunks okay there we go so even when when you go to the grocery store and you look at that aisle pick up those salad dressings and look for yourself what's in them and know what you're eating because some of you aren't oil free and that's okay but there's a lot of unnecessary fat in it then and oils just fill you up with a lot of calories so that you're you're wanting to eat less salad because you're going to get full with all of that dressing and when you go out to a restaurant or when you go to a salad bar thinking you're doing a great thing you're eating your salads right you would got your bowl loaded up with all kinds of goodness and then you get to the dressing and when you're looking at that dressing you notice there's nothing you can eat there's nothing either vegan or dairy-free definitely not oil free or there may there may be one but from my experience there usually isn't any and when you go to a restaurant you're gonna run into the same issue you're gonna see that you know they might have a vinaigrette of some type or maybe an Italian dressing but typically Italian dressing has parmesan in it so there again you're not going to be able to eat that so this is a way you can make this salad dressing ahead of time put it in a little contain a leak-proof container and put it in your bag if you know you're going to a restaurant then you know for sure that you have a dressing and that goes the same for if you're going to friend's house or a dinner party or something like that you know if they're not if all your your friends aren't vegan or plant-based like ours most of them aren't you can't expect them to provide you with a salad dressing so if you just pack that in your bag then you know you have something to eat and you know what's in it okay I've just got some cherry tomatoes here and my favorite thing to put on salads is roasted pecans I love roasted pecans so I'm going to put a few of those on there okay now on to the dressing so I'm gonna move this stuff out and I'll be right back while we're waiting for that I would like to share with you some of the exciting things we

show ok we're back and we're ready to make our dressing and I'm gonna use my nutribullet because it's a smaller amount even this cup is probably too big but of course the little cups I have are dirty we have a family of four so these are hard to come we're always fighting over who gets to use the cups so I just need another set right okay so we're gonna start with hemp seeds this might be something new to you hemp seeds are a super wonderful nutritious thing that you can use it's a great fat let me tell you a little bit more about it hemp seeds are derived from industrial hemp with the Hult seeds containing zero THC so it's perfectly safe for all ages the seeds contain 33% protein by weight and offer all 20 amino acids including the nine essential amino acids that the body does not manufacture and can only be derived from food hemp seeds contain the perfect three-to-one ratio of omega-6 linoleic acid and omega-3 linoleic acid and protein is easily digestible making it an excellent replacement for nuts in recipes like this salad dressing for those with nuts sensitivity so we're gonna use three tablespoons of the hemp seeds and this is what's gonna make your dressing really creamy without using a refined oil because you still need to have that fat in there but it's gonna be a good healthy fat a whole food fat not a refined one then we're gonna have we're gonna add one tear a half a teaspoon see half a teaspoon of onion powder and I'll give you a link in the recipe for this Newt this onion powder I love this onion powder and if you've seen my other shows you know this is the only onion powder that I use and I use it in everything 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder [Music] and about a quarter of a teaspoon of cracked pepper it's about good and you can always add more cracked pepper to your salad later on and then for our tartness we're gonna use white wine vinegar see how many how much of that do I need I need two tablespoons and then we're also going to we're gonna need just a teeny bit of sweetness and instead of using a refined sweetener like sugar or maple syrup we're gonna use raisins cuz it's a whole food and see how much do I have of that so two tablespoons of raisins and I'm just gonna estimate kind of in my hand there's one it's hard to scoop out that with sticky raisins and then we have our oats so you need something that's gonna make it kind of thick right oats are just a wonderful thing to use if you don't want to use something like corn starch or more fat you can use oats because it acts like an emulsifier and a thick nur all of that starch in there when you blend it it's going to start to thicken so we have three tablespoons of rolled oats and ranch the secret ingredient is dill and we're gonna use we're gonna use a whole teaspoon of dried dill you could probably use fresh too but I really like to use the dry I feel like you can control the amount that you use a little bit easier and then 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk very important that it's unsweetened because like I said before you don't want those refined sugars in there now we're just going to blend this up till it's smooth and creamy and then we have our magic Ranch Dressing there we go and if you want this to get thicker you can always put it in the refrigerator and let it set up for a couple hours and it will get thicker right now it's a little you know it's not runny but it's not super thick and like the nutribullets got this handy little pour spout for salad dressings and stick that on there get my salad we're gonna go to the table and try it out here we go mmm I'm salivating this is so amazing mmm I've been missing ranch so mm-hmm hemp seed ranch dressing you are gonna love it and if there's a dressing that you want to see in this series leave me a comment below and be sure to give this a like so we can keep these shows coming to you and I'll see you next time
