This nutritious nut-free, vegan dressing will remind you of ranch dressing! Sunflower seeds are naturally anti-inflammatory. Paired with a large salad full of vegetables, you'll create a nutrient-packed meal! In the wintertime I use dried herbs, but in the summertime I use whatever fresh herbs are growing in my garden. Snipped chives are particularly delicious, as well as fresh marjoram. Reduce the water in this recipe to create a luscious, creamy dip and serve with a platter of raw vegetables.
