Notes
1. Keeps for about 5 days in the refrigerator. 2. This dressing tends to separate; stir before using.3. This dressing is a thin dressing (because I created it to top my French Lentil Salad). If you would like the dressing to be thicker, decrease water amount.* * * This recipe for Creamy Fresh Basil Salad Dressing is . . . … gluten-free, plant based, oil-free, sugar-free, high in fiber, dairy free, egg-free, vegetarian, vegan, and made from real, whole foods.
