One of the best and only creamy vegan salad dressing recipe you have to know. It’s basically a plant-based version of the famous white French dressing.
This creamy white vegan salad dressing recipe is a plant-based adaption of my popular white French dressing recipe. The original recipe is made with egg yolk, which makes salad dressing white and creamy.
But it’s fairly simple to substitute the egg yolk with soy milk and achieve the same creaminess and thickness desired in a salad dressing.
It’s astonishing how swapping out one ingredient can turn a popular classic recipe into a dairy-free alternative! By the way, this same technique work for making a delicious vegan homemade mayonnaise!
But, you must use soy milk! This effect doesn’t work with any other plant-based milk alternative!
A Vegan Dressing Recipe You Need in Your Collection
It’s a must to have at least one vegan salad dressing recipe in your recipe collection which you can use at any time and with any salad. This homemade dressing is white, creamy, thick, and full of taste.
I love to use it with a simple macaroni salad or green salad. But this vegan salad dressing goes well with every kind of salad.
The great thing is that you can make it once and it keeps fresh for an entire week in your fridge. Which means you can prepare it ahead at the weekend and enjoy salads throughout the whole week. Isn’t that amazing?
A perfect salad dressing recipe to make ahead for your summer BBQ party with friends and family!
