Ingredients

3 medjool dates pitted
1 cup filtered water
1 garlic clove about 1 teaspoon
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Soak the dates in the filtered water for at least two hours. I put the dates and water in a jar with a lid and stick it in the fridge until I'm ready to make the dressing.
Pour the dates and soaking water into your blender and add the remaining ingredients. Blend on high speed until smooth.
Enjoy dressing salads, sandwich greens, beans, grains. Try dipping or marinading veggies, too! Store the dressing in a sealed jar or bottle in the fridge for several days.
