Yum!! Just had this over some steamed chopped mustard greens. I had some sweetened soy milk to use up so I only put in one date. Very creamy, very satisfying!

Wow was this good! I used the Black Fig Vinegar but other than that I used the recipe as is. It tasted way more like a dessert than a salad dressing - the recipe also makes A LOT of dressing. My husband plopped it onto his (not ETL) sweet potato pie instead of whipped cream and I just ate it with a spoon. It's kind of addictive.

The dressing is great with hempseeds. You can find recipes for hemp milk here. I add the almonds, hemp seed and water and let the soak a while before blending.

We can't eat/drink soy. Can the soy milk be replaced with rice milk? Or cashew milk?

Yes, I do substitutions like this one all of the time. I use hemp milk for everything, but any plant-based milk will do.

Amuzon12, My experience is that you can always interchange any of the milks. I usually choose almond milk, rice is much higher in sugar.

would rather just use almonds - about how many almonds would it take to make that amount of almond butter?? Thank you!

To compute the amount of nuts to replace an amount of nut butter, double the amount of nut butter called for and that is the amount of nuts. So in this case, you would use 1 cup of whole almonds.

We used this dressing for the three greens salad with apples and pears. It was okay--enough flavor and good creamy texture--but nothing special. The flavor of the pumpkin was very subtle (we used fresh pumpkin) so when eaten with strong flavors, it's basically lost. It's delicious by itself as a dessert (omitting the vinegar) but as a dressing/dip, I might make this again only to use up extra pumpkin, since it's so high in fat.

I made this dressing today, on Thanksgiving, and it is fabulous! I left the water out of this dressing.

I served this dressing with Kale, red cabbage, and tomatoes.

This dressing is so tasy, and so great for Thansgiving!!!

You can use walnuts but the flavor will be a bit different.
