Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Raw almonds
• 0.75 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or agave nectar for a vegan option)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground coriander

Directions

Step 1

1. Start by soaking the raw almonds in hot water for 10 minutes. This will make them softer and easier to blend.

Step 2

2. After soaking, drain the almonds and remove their skins by gently pinching each almond. The skin should slide off easily.

Step 3

3. Add the peeled almonds to a blender, along with 3/4 cup of water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, olive oil, honey (or agave nectar), salt, and grated ginger.

Step 4

4. Sprinkle in the ground cumin and ground coriander to add a subtle warmth and depth of flavor.

Step 5

5. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 6

6. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or honey/agave nectar if desired.

Step 7

7. Transfer the almond dressing to a jar or dressing bottle for easy pouring.

Step 8

8. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using as natural separation may occur.
