Why Sunflower Seeds?
Sunflower seeds are the creamy base for this dressing. They’re a mild-flavored, nut-free alternative to cashews, and they’re packed with vitamin E, selenium, vitamins B5 & B6, folate, zinc, and more (source).
Other Ingredients
We add lemon to make this dressing bright and citrusy, cilantro for an herby element, garlic for zing, and salt to enhance all the flavors.
