Pierre Van ZylDips, Sauces

Share www.GetCollagen.co.za

This is a recipe for creamy vegan honey mustard, which is sweetened with medjool dates and blended with cashews. The cashews provide a creamy texture, while a pinch of turmeric imparts a bright yellow color. The honey mustard is equal parts sweet and tangy, and it can be spread onto sandwiches or burgers or used as a dipping sauce. If you’re looking for a honey mustard recipe that’s not only vegan, but also made with whole food ingredients and incredibly delicious, this is…

This roasted beet ketchup is an alternative approach to the beloved sweet, salty, and tangy condiment. In place of tomatoes, the recipe calls for oven roasted beets, and for sweetness, it uses pitted medjool dates, rather than a refined sweetener. It’s a vibrantly colorful and tasty sauce for veggie burgers, fries, and more! Summer is the season for veggie burgers and carrot dogs, not to mention casual gatherings with finger food and snack boards. This means it’s also a time for sauces, dips,…

This vegan tzatziki is made with cashews, garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs, and grated cucumber. It will add an ultra-creamy, tangy, and cool component to your meals, from grain bowls to roasted vegetables to vegan gyros or pita pockets. The tzatziki is also a refreshing and versatile dip. The notion of a food or cooking rut doesn’t only apply to meals. It applies to condiments, too. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of tahini dressings, in any and all ways. Likewise,…

This tahini pesto is an oil-free, nut-free, alternative to classic basil pesto. Sesame seed paste gives the pesto an ultra-creamy and smooth consistency. This type of pesto is great for warm or cold pasta dishes, and it’s also a versatile, fresh sauce for summer grain bowls, sandwiches, and salads. Days are long, temperatures are hot, and tomatoes are juicy. It’s peak summer, friends. Which means that it’s high time for pesto. The plant-based pesto recipe that I’m sharing today is different from the…

Vegan Pesto with Basil and Cashews

Share www.GetCollagen.co.za

This vegan pesto is a dairy-free spin on a summertime treat: fresh, flavorful, herbaceous pesto sauce. I like a thick, creamy pesto with bright green color. To achieve that, I use cashews for texture, and I like to blanch my basil leaves to keep the pesto vibrantly green. The recipe includes instructions with or without blanching. I’ve always considered September to be the last month of summer. Where I live, warm weather tends to persist through the month. Some September days can compete…
