Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium head romaine lettuce, outer leaves discarded
1 bunch young dandelion greens, if available
1 medium tomatoes, cut into eighths
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 medium garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon prepared Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
4 ounces silken tofu
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons water, if needed to thin dressing

Steps:

  • Blend all dressing ingredients in blender adding oil a little at a time at the end.
  • Make sure you blend this dressing well so the sunflower seeds are ground.
  • Stop your blender and test for smoothness. When the seeds are ground well they will make your dressing nice and creamy.
  • Chop, rinse, and dry romaine and dandelion greens.
  • If you have a salad spinner it is best.
  • If not, pat rinsed greens with paper towels so dressing doesn't get diluted.
  • Toss greens with tomato and desired amount of dressing.
