Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons plant-based Parmesan cheese (plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients ensuring the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar are fresh. Mince the garlic finely to release its full aroma and help it blend smoothly into the dressing.
- Blend the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plant-based mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until you have a smooth, creamy base ready to carry other flavors.
- Add Flavor Layers: Stir in the minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), plant-based Parmesan cheese (plant-based), and ground black pepper to build the signature savory and tangy profile.
- Thicken with Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle a small amount of natural gelling agent and whisk vigorously to achieve a perfectly clingy texture that gives the dressing body without heaviness.
- Adjust and Serve: Taste the dressing and adjust acidity or seasoning with more lemon juice or pepper if needed. Serve immediately or chill for a more melded flavor experience.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best zesty flavor.
- Mince garlic finely to avoid overpowering the dressing.
- Whisk vigorously to ensure a smooth, creamy texture and proper emulsification.
- Allow the dressing to rest refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Add vinegar or lemon juice gradually to balance acidity without overwhelming creaminess.
