Golden Citrus Courgette Dressing

Ingredients for Golden Citrus Courgette Dressing

• 1 medium courgette, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 275g )

• 1 (3-inch) piece spring onion, white and light green parts only, coarsely chopped

• 45ml freshly squeezed lime juice

• 45ml extra-virgin olive oil or cold-pressed flaxseed oil

• 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste

• 1 recipe Courgette Dressing, using golden courgette or a peeled green courgette and 2 tablespoons lime juice

• 1 (2-inch) piece fresh turmeric, peeled and chopped (finely chopped if using a regular blender)

• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

• 2 tablespoons raw cashew butter

• 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast

• 1 (1/4-inch) slice of a large garlic clove

Combine the courgette, spring onion, lime juice, oil, and salt in an upright blender and blend until smooth, starting on a lower speed and gradually increasing it as the dressing comes together. Use a rubber spatula (with the blender off) to help move the ingredients around as necessary, or use the tamper stick if using a high-powered blender. Adjust the seasoning to taste—some variations with lots of extra herbs will need more salt. Scrape down the sides and blend again. Use immediately, or store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. The dressing will thicken once chilled; thin it out with a little water if needed.

Make the dressing following the instructions for the base recipe, adding the turmeric, orange juice, cashew butter, nutritional yeast, and garlic to the blender along with the other ingredients.
