Nutty Mixture

  • In a food processor ( I used a Nutri-bullet and it was not great so I would recommend a food processor). Combine all ingredients and blend.

Salad Dressing

  • Combine all ingredients and add s&p to taste. I think I added a dash of garlic powder too, so try that if you're feeling called to do so.
