Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked for 4 to 8 hours
  • ¼ cup plain unsweetened almond milk beverage or water, plus additional as needed
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ume plum vinegar (or 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar + ¼ teaspoon sea salt)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
Instructions
  1. Before draining the sunflower seeds, rub them between your fingers to help release most of the skins. They affect the color, and the texture just a little, but not the taste. So it's okay if you don't get them all. Drain off the skins and water.
  2. Place the seeds in your blender or food processor with the almond milk or water, lemon juice, vinegar, and garlic. Blend, adding more liquid if it is too thick, until the mixture is as smooth as possible. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Serve immediately, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
