    Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing Alternative

    By Alisa Fleming on July 26, 2017 Condiments and Salad Dressings, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Do you remember a few months ago, when I shared an amazing Vegan Pad Thai Recipe from The PlantPure Kitchen? That fresh and vibrant plant-based meal made me look forward to Meatless Mondays! But Kim Campbell’s new cookbook is about more than amazing entrees. In fact, my favorite thing about it is all of the flavor-focused recipes, like this vegan blue cheese dressing alternative!

    Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe - the wholesome dairy-free Blue Cheez Dressing from PlantPure Kitchen by Kim Campbell

    I love condiments. And The PlantPure Kitchen, has a whole chapter dedicated to Dressings and Sauces. It contains Caesar Dressing, Carrot Ginger Dressing, Creamy Horseradish Sauce, Hollandaise Sauce, plus so much more. And beyond that boisterous chapter, there are unique recipes for hummus, salsa, and other sauces throughout.

    To give you a creamy sampling, Kim has graciously shared her Blue Cheez Dressing recipe with us. Just one drizzle and you’ll be back for more!

    This recipe is also in The PlantPure Nation Cookbook, but that version requires a sub-recipe of Tofu-Cashew Mayonnaise. I’ve simplified it here by incorporating the ingredients from the mayonnaise into the recipe. The secret ingredient that makes this so close to a real blue cheese dressing is the tahini, for the uniquely sharp flavor of blue cheese. Our family and friends love this recipe!
    Author: Kim Campbell

    • 2 tablespoons raw cashews

      Does anyone know what I could substitute the cashews for? I am highly allergic. I’m allergic to milk, soy, wheat, eggs, nuts (both tree nuts and non tree nuts), legumes, shellfish

        I’m not sure that this recipe is suitable for you Ellie, even with a cashew replacement, since you are allergic to soy. It uses tofu as a critical ingredient. Daiya makes a dairy-free blue cheese dressing that might meet all of your needs and is pretty good -> https://www.godairyfree.org/product-reviews/daiya-dairy-free-dressings – not easy to replicate at home!

        You can use sunflower seeds – they just have a more pronounced flavor.

      Sorry but this blue cheeze tastes nothing like blue cheese. It’s over powered flavor is vinegar and thats about it.

      Tasty, but lemon flavor was a bit strong. Probably 2 TBSP would be plenty of lemon juice. Otherwise, excellent!

      I am SO happy I came across this recipe! I’ve been craving some sort of creamy, cheesy type of cashew dressing, and this is PERFECT. I’m doubling the ingredients and making it tonight.
