Creamy French Salad Dressing

I have several renditions of French dressing because it was one of my favorites. I keep trying different ways to make it. This version is creamier because of the coconut yogurt. I really like this. The texture is creamier, the color is not neon and it has no oil.

Ingredients

  • 3 OZ Organic unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 Cup Umeboshi Plum vinegar Rice vinegar works too
  • 2 TBSP Lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut milk yogurt (unsweet, not plain) I use So Delicious unsweetened
  • 1 Tsp Hungarian paprika Any paprika works
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Onion powder

Instructions

  • If the applesauce is smooth enough, add all ingredients to a dressing carafe. Otherwise put everything in a blender except the yogurt and blend for 2 minutes.  If you blend the yogurt it will lose it's creaminess.
  • Mix in the yogurt and put your blend into your favorite salad dressing bottle.
  • Add salt and pepper to your taste. I recommend white pepper. If you used Umeboshi plum vinegar, you do not need to add salt.
  • This salad dressing is good for a week. Chill it or use it right away over your favorite salad ingredients.
