Creamy Oil-Free Vegan Dressing

Yes, you can have a super creamy dressing or dip without adding ANY oil, eggs, cheese, or cream.

My Creamy Oil-Free Vegan Dressing recipe uses hemp seeds and nutritional yeast blended together to create its creaminess. What is nutritional yeast you ask? This amazing dairy-free cheese alternative was introduced to me by my vegan friends. They love it because of its high vitamin B content. It looks like larger flaked grated Parmesan and has the slightly salty and nutty profiles of Parmesan. My kids love it so I can easily swap it for cheese in certain recipes. It also lasts longer than freshly grated Parmesan and is cheaper. Try it sprinkled on popcorn.
