Recipes and Health Articles Nutritional Yeast Dressing          Total Time 5 minutes     Servings 1cup   Ingredients 1 cup nutritional yeast ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil* ⅓ cup + 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar ¼ cup low-sodium tamari or soy sauce 3 cloves garlic, minced pinch fine sea salt ground pepper, to taste Instructions  Combine all dressing ingredients except olive oil into a blender. Blend until smooth and slowly add in the olive oil, with the blender on a low setting.I prefer making this dressing in a blender because it gets extra smooth and creamy, but if don’t have a blender you can easily make it by whisking all the ingredients together as well. Just make sure you mince your garlic really well.
