Nutmeg Notebook Creamy Balsamic Dressing
1 box or can of cannellini beans no salt added, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar *
3 to 4 Medjool dates - pitted (depends on how sweet you like it - you could use less or more)
4 teaspoons Dijon Mustard or no salt added mustard
1 cup unsweetened plant milk ( I use almond milk, use soy milk or oat milk for a completely nut free recipe)
2-3 teaspoons Garlic & Herb no salt seasoning or you could use 2 fresh garlic cloves
Mix all the ingredients together in a high power blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix until smooth and creamy. It thickens after chilling in the fridge.
If you have a regular blender you might try soaking the dates in warm water to soften them so they will blend better.
*For a slaw salad I suggest you use the white balsamic vinegar - Trader Joe’s has a good one and other stores also sell white balsamic vinegar. The lighter color looks better on a slaw. The white balsamic is a lighter flavor but it still makes a yummy dressing.

😁😁😁OK TAMI… I’m trusting you… I don’t eat salad because I can’t find a healthy dressing that I like… I’m going to give this a try … thank you for all you do !!! And Tom !!! 😁😁😁
This recipe has helped me move my husband from an oil based dressing to no oil!
This just popped up on my feed. I am so excited to try it. Made it for dinner tonight. I get so burned out on salads and it is so hard to find a good plant based dressing. Thanks so much!
This dressing ROCKS! I was getting so frustrated; I love salads, but couldn't find a recipe for a dressing that wasn't loaded with oil or cashews. Deep bow of gratitude to you, Tami.
Oh thank you so much! This makes me so happy - great start to my day reading your comment! Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you won't miss any new recipes or blog posts. www.nutmegnotebook.com
I am really excited to try this after reading so many great reviews. I am the type of person who loved the dressing the most in a salad, ha ha... so to finally let go of oil will make it so much healthier and lower in calories.
we dont have any of those stores you mention here in Ireland, so i am grateful you suggest alternatives!!
Once you get started with these recipes they are almost limitless with possibilities. Really enjoy your channel.
Thank you so much!
Thank you I have shared this with my family and they can’t believe how creamy delicious this is and OIL free!
I made this receipe today. It's fantastic. Thanks Tami and Tom.
Glad you liked it!!
This salad dressing is amazing! All natural ingredients
And No oil! Enjoy
Happy Cooking
Tami
Wow! I was so surprised how delicious this dressing is! I make my own beans so I used regular northern white beans because I could not find Cannellini beans. This is a keeper! Thanks!!!
Thank you so much Celine. I am happy to know you like the dressing!
Well, sad that you guys didn't have a sunday livestream today but on the other hand, I'm here with this COOL Salad dressing recipe and just now realizing I hadn't subbed Nutmeg Notebook! Uprated, subbed and thanking you Tami and Tom for being you! Wishing ya guys a great week! :)
Thank you for subscribing. We needed to take a day off and get some things done on our to do list. We will back this coming Sunday due aLive show at 4:00 PM Pacific! Hope to see you then. 😊
Yum!!
Good tip on counting the dates and pits. It will save you from grinding the pit. I have done that one. LOL Looking forward to making this dressing.
Thank you!!! Balsamic vinaigrette has always been my go-to before recently switching to a wfpb diet. This is a keeper and will be my go-to dressing recipe! (I added some water to thin the consistency a little (personal pref), but I absolutely loved the flavor! I've been enjoying all of your recipes I've tried and have a queue of those I can't wait to try!
Wonderful!
Thanks Tami....really enjoy watching your cooking demonstrations. Recently made your banana oat muffins and love them. Can’t wait to try this dressing.
Love Tami's video's So easy to follow
Thank you so much! Be sure to subscribe to the blog as we have tons of recipes there that don't yet have videos! www.nutmegnotebook.com
Yum! Just tried this tonight. Did not have dates. But I used a 4.6% balsamic and unsweetened almond milk so I didn’t need them. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Such a healthy salad dressing. Looks good I think we'll try it! Thanks NN!
Its quite delicious and very popular! I hope you enjoy it as well.
Thanks for sharing your recipe! I'll try it. At the moment I love a dressing made with 2 TBSP of sunflower seeds (freshly ground), the juice of half a lemon, 2 TBSP of water and 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar. Sunflower seeds contain vitamin E and are great if your eyes are tired (from working at your computer for example).

Hi Tami! This looks perfect!🌻🌵
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for sharing. I definitely plan to make this recipe.
Great video! Would you consider doing a what I eat in a day video. Would love to see what a day of oil free salt free options would entail. Ty!
I will try to do that!
I have made this and it's fantastic!, Thanks for a great recipe Meg. I love your blog
Thank you so much!
💖💖💖 Thank you for adding Full Recipe in Description Box; very helpful. How long does this salad last in refrigerator? Love Tamson 😇
About 4-5 days. Some people keep it longer and some freeze it. You can always make half the recipe too.
@@NutmegNotebook Thank you Tammy. I appreciate your helpful information. Love your Beautiful informative channel. I'm a Subscriber that enjoys each of your videos. 😇💚
im already subscribed so how to i get the creamy strawberry balsamic dsg recipe--it sounds delish!
This dressing is delicious!!
Thank you - we love it too!
Thanks for sharing
Have you Made a ranch flavored one? Loved the video
I followed you along as you made this. I used a can of channeling beans drained as didn’t have box. Also used Dijon. My dressing looks very dark compared to yours. Why do you think that? Yours looked creamier too.
I am glad you tried the recipe. I don't know why yours looks darker than mine - coudl be the lighting on our video and photos. Could be difference in Balsamic vinegars. I use my high powered blender and it makes the dressing very creamy smooth. Be sure to subscribe to the blog and get 2 exclusive recipes for subscribers only at www.nutmegnotebook.com
how many ounces in the box of cannellini beans? Is it comparable to a can of beans ( 14.5-15oz.) ?
I love your channel! I have a quick question as I value both of your opinions immensely. I recently read about balsamic vinegar containing lead. Have you researched this? ☮️💟
Hello M.E,
Thank you or watching our channel. Yes, we have had that question come up before, the explanation in the linked article is typical of what we have found from multiple sources. please read through to the concluding paragraph. www.drgourmet.com/askdrgourmet/balsamicv-lead.shtml
Excited to try this..love your videos.. btw, this can't be called nut free with the use of almond milk. Do you find the almond ok in milk form even though you don't consume nuts any other way? I may make some hemp milk instead..
Changed the title to avoid confusion, I have modified the title of this video as you are correct in your comment. The major advantage of this recipe is that it does not use a quantity of high fat nuts to achieve the desired texture (hence the original no nuts statement) that many plant based dressing do. Therefore it is wieght loss frendly. If you have a nut alergy you can use soy or some other plant milk to be completely nut free. Thank you for watching!
Tami, can this be frozen for longer term storage?
I haven't tried freezing it myself but try freezing a some and see what happens.
Looks great!! If using home-cooked beans, would you say about a cup and a half? Thanks for the recipe, plus the broccoli slaw and apple tip!
Yes, the box of beans in the video is 1 1/2 cups
How long does it keep in the refrigerator? I can’t wait to make it!!
It's good for several days. You can freeze it too. Or of course you can cut the recipe in half. Enjoy!
Is the box of beans about equal to a can? Thanks, looks yummy!
They are close to a can just a couple ounces less.
What brand of Garlic &Herb no salt seasoning do you use?
I use the Mrs Dash.
I don’t think you said how much mustard you used.
Here is a link to the printable recipe. www.nutmegnotebook.com/posts/cooking-method/blenderblendtec/creamy-balsamic-dressing-no-oil/
Hi Tami, if you were going to omit the dates but use the Napa Valley Grand Reserve balsamic vinegar, how much vinegar would you use in place of the dates? or it that the vinegar you already used in the recipe and you don't use anything extra to replace the dates? I am probably over-complicating this. lol Aso, could we use water instead of almond milk?
I wouldn't change the quantity of Balsamic I would just delete the dates. You could try water in place of plant milk - I haven't made it that way and it might not be as creamy and thick but try it. If it's too think you could always add some chia seeds to thicken it. We just have to experiment and see what works - that is the fun part of cooking!

Hi Tami What is the amount for the cannelini beans as I make my own. thanks
The box including the liquid is 13.4 ounces by weight before it is rinsed and drained. Best guess, deduct a couple ounces for liquid, so try 11 oz or so, then adjust if it seems to thin or too thick

Can I use a white wine vinegar if I can't find the white balsamic, and if so, would the amount be the same?
I have never tried white wine vinegar in this recipe so I don't know what the taste will be like. I would make half a batch and see how you like it!
Sorry but you state there are no nuts in this recipe but you add almond milk.
Hello Lisa. My statement could have been more specific. it is in reference to the cannellini beans that are used to replace cashew or other nuts commonly used in non dairy dressings to give the dressing body and flavor. Using the beans keeps the calorie density down. Using soy milk would be completely nut free if that was needed and not cause any issue with the outcome. Thank You for bringing this to my attention.
Happy Cooking
Tami
if I use canned cannelini how many ounces should I use.
The boxes are 13.4 ounces. See my blog for more recipes www.nutmegnotebook.com
Can garbanzo beans be used instead?
I have never tried that, Garbanzo beans have a distinctive flavor and will not be as creamy, You might try making a 1/2 batch to check out how it comes out.
I don't think garbanzos would be quite as smooth....
How long will it last in fridge?
We have kept it in the fridge for up to 10 days with no problem using fresh ingredients. I think the vinegar and the mustard help extend refergerated shelf life.
How much mustard?

It is a thicker, reduced balsamic that is sweeter.A Nutmeg Notebook Recipe
Can this be frozen ?
I have never frozen it but some of my followers have with good results.
I made this yesterday and it is awesome! Thank you very much

No need to use the more expensive Majhoul dates. The Noor dates are fine, you don't have to pit them, and in a recipe like this you won't know the difference. In fact, I defy anyone to tell any taste difference in a recipe like this made with medjoul dates vs. noor dates.
