Green Goodness Ch-Ch-Ch Chia Dressing
- 1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
- 6 cloves roasted garlic
- zest from one lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 5 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained but not rinsed
- 1 small ripe avocado
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- about 3/4 to 1 cups water
- chia seeds
- Step 1: In a bowl, submerge the sunflower seeds in cold water. Let soak at room temperature at least 8 hours. Then drain and rinse thoroughly using a colander.
- Step 2: In a blender, add all of the ingredients except the chia seeds and only enough water to get things blending smoothly. Check the consistency, adding more water to thin it out if needed, but keeping in mind that this dressing should be on the thick-and-creamy side.
- Step 3: Taste. A little dull and flat? Add a bit more salt. Not tangy/acidic enough for your taste? Add 1 TBS more lemon juice. Chill at least an hour before using. Then stir in your desired quantity of chia seeds JUST before serving, so they stay pleasantly crunchy. Put remaining dressing in an airtight container, refrigerate and use within 5 days.
