Raw Vegan Creamy Chipotle Dressing

Yes!

After you've prepared the recipe as is, just taste the dressing and see if you'd like to add a little Himalayan pink salt or ground black pepper to it.

I like it as it, but you can always adjust it to your preference!

Yes!

The original recipe creator used it as a dressing for his Massaged Kale Salad, and it pairs perfectly with the salad.

However, if it's prepared without any modifications, it is somewhat thick and would made an excellent dip for veggies, grain-free chips or as a spread for avocado toast.

I haven't tested the recipe with a regular or high-speed blender, but I do not see why either would not work for this recipe since there are no hard or difficult items to blend.

It's best to use it immediately but if you need to store it, use an airtight BPA-free container and store in the refrigerator for no more than 1-2 days, even though there is lemon juice to help extend the life of the avocados.

In my opinion, yes!

Homemade versions are not as bad as processed store-bought versions, but many are not vegan because they can sometimes contain sour cream or egg yolks.

However, store-bought brands that are highly processed are another story.
