What is the almond butter brand you recommend?

I am using this new healthy brand we have in town, Early Riser. They make a fabulous (and healthy) almond maple butter that is slightly sweet. It is a mix of roasted almonds and a splash of maple.

But if you can’t find this brand, go for your favorite almond butter or make your own (by blending roasted almonds in a high-speed blender for a few minutes, until smooth). It works too.

Why is this easy vegan creamy celery almond dressing unexpected?

Most people don’t think of celery as the star of a creamy dressing, but this recipe will change your mind!

Celery is a nutritional powerhouse, offering a range of health benefits, we know it as one of the best juice for healthy lifestyle. It has anti-inflammatory compounds, lots of vitamins, antioxidants and helps the digestive system too.

Save this recipe so you can effortlessly add more celery into your routine! Not only does this dressing bring a refreshing crunch and vibrant flavor, but it’s also a fantastic way to boost your intake of essential nutrients. A win-win !!

Customize this dressing up to your taste

Feel free to adjust the amount of tamari to your taste preference.

For a thinner consistency (ideal for a salad dressing), you can add a bit more water (or less).

On the other side, for a thicker consistency (ideal for a dipping sauce), I would recommend using less water or adding more almond butter.

Get creative! This dressing is a great base for customization. Try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley for a twist.

Finally, when I make this sauce with regular almond butter (instead of early riser nut butter that is already sweetened), I add a splash of maple syrup, to enhance the delicious and sweet taste coming from the almond butter (but again this is optional).
