Creamy Vegan Salad Dressing Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Recipe Notes
- I used white cannellini beans. Navy beans or great northern beans can be used.
- If you aren’t as strict vegan, you can use honey in place of the maple syrup.
- If the dressing is too thick, you can add water in order to thin it out. Start with a tablespoon at a time.
- Store this dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Homemade salad dressings are totally my jam. It’s really hard to find a good salad dressing without inflammatory oils so I like making my own as often as I can. Some of my favorites are this Homemade Italian Dressing, this Strawberry Vinaigrette, this Spicy Avocado Dressing, this Creamy Basil Avocado Dressing, and this Balsamic Dressing.

I am eating S0S free (no salt or refined oils or sugar). I made this recipe as written, except I included the zest of my organic lemon along with the juice, and I used date syrup instead of honey. I also tossed in about 1/4-1/3 of a red onion, which is something I often do to increase flavor since I don’t add salt. (The salt in the mustard made the dressing plenty salty for us.) We thought this was really creamy and delicious! I will be making this often and experimenting with a variety of herbs just because I’m so inspired by your recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
I love the additions you tried! Thanks for sharing.
Can a couple of dates be substitutes for the maple syrup or honey?
I think that would work just fine!
I like that is versatile, but as written, I found it a bit bland. I added half a red onion to it in the blender, and really liked it. I put it on edamame and steamed peas as well as on a baby spinach kale salad. Loved it! I will try it with fresh dill next time. I really like the texture. Thanks!
It’s so creamy and delicious, I love it!
