Almonaisealmonds

1\4 cup ground almonds
1\4 cup soy milk or distilled water
1 or 2 cl. Garlic
1\4 tsp rock salt
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. Apple cider vinegar
1\2 to 3\4 cup good quality vegetable oil or olive oil
herbs and spices (your own favorites)
a few drops of stevia.

Put first 4 ingredients in blender. Process on high for a minute.
Drizzle oil into the running blender until the mixture emulsifies.
Add juice of lemon and apple cider vinegar. Add fresh herbs and spices. I often add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

I like basil, dill, poppy seeds, cilantro and sometimes I throw in a whole avocado. You can also experiment with flavored vinegars. For added protein you may add 1\2 a block of silken tofu or an avocado for healthy oil and fiber.

I have used this as dressing for caesar salads, and brushed salmon steaks with the almonaise. This is especially good when you’ve used fresh dill.
