GOLDEN CITRUS ZUCCHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Base recipe:
• Combine the zucchini, scallion, lime juice, oil, and salt in an upright blender (see Note) and blend until smooth, starting on a lower speed and gradually increasing it as the dressing comes together. Use a rubber spatula (with the blender off) to help move the ingredients around as necessary, or use the tamper stick if using a high-powered blender. Adjust the seasoning to taste-some variations with lots of extra herbs will need more salt. Scrape down the sides and blend again. Use immediately, or store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. The dressing will thicken once chilled; thin it out with a little water if needed.
• Golden citrus zucchini dressing:
• Make the dressing following the instructions for the base recipe, adding the turmeric, orange juice, cashew butter, nutritional yeast, and garlic to the blender along with the other ingredients.
