Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 tablespoons chopped blanched almonds

6 tablespoons water

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice -- and

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice -- combined

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 tablespoon minced fresh basil

1/4 teaspoon minced fresh dill

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground coarse black pepper

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 cup canola or vegetable oil

1/4 cup plain yogurt (optional; see note)

 

AUTHOR'S NOTE: The lightest of citrus dressings, with a creamy texture from the

almond puree. This technique of using powdered nuts for thickening is a

healthful trick for those avoiding dairy products. MAKES 2 1/4 CUPS.

 

1. Put the almonds and water into a blender and blend on high until pureed. Add

the remaining ingredients, except for the oil, and blend until combined. With

the motor running, slowly pour in oil and run until the dressing is thick and

creamy. Add the yogurt if you want a thicker consistency.
