Looking for a way to upgrade your salad scale or to add a burst of flavor to oven-roasted sweet potatoes? This creamy celery almond dressing is easy-to-make and is the unexpected twist you’ve been craving. This dressing is entirely plant-based and made with the best ingredients.

Creamy, tangy, and bursting with umami thanks to the combination of celery, lemon, almond butter, and tamari, this dressing is anything but boring. The garlic adds a subtle spicy bite, while the lemon brings a touch of brightness.

What are the ingredients for this vegan sauce?

If you are ready to try this unexpected flavors combination, here is what you need.

I blend in a medium blender: 1 celery stick, almond maple butter from Early Riser (or any almond butter), lemon, garlic, tamari, and extra water for the perfect consistency of this easy dressing recipe.

I am using this new healthy brand we have in town, Early Riser. They make a fabulous (and healthy) almond maple butter that is slightly sweet. It is a mix of roasted almonds and a splash of maple. But if you can’t find this brand, go for your favorite almond butter or make your own (by blending roasted almonds in a high-speed blender for a few minutes, until smooth). It works too.

Why you’ll love this dressing ?

Vegan and Dairy-Free: Perfect for those following a plant-based diet or with dairy allergies.

Incredibly Versatile: Use it as a salad dressing, a dipping sauce for roasted vegetables, or even a marinade for tofu.

Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor: Made with pantry staples, this dressing comes together in minutes.

Healthy and Nutritious: Packed with healthy fats from almond butter and vitamins from lemon and celery.

Elevates Any Dish: The perfect finishing touch for salads, roasted sweet potatoes, or buddha bowls.

Customize this dressing up to your taste

Feel free to adjust the amount of tamari to your taste preference.

For a thinner consistency (ideal for a salad dressing), you can add a bit more water (or less).

On the other side, for a thicker consistency (ideal for a dipping sauce), I would recommend using less water or adding more almond butter.

Get creative! This dressing is a great base for customization. Try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley for a twist.

Finally, as I use almond maple butter from Early Riser which is slightly sweet when I make this sauce with regular almond butter, I add a splash of maple syrup, to enhance the delicious and sweet taste coming from the almond butter (but again this is optional if you want to keep it more savory).

With its unique flavor profile and versatility, this creamy celery almond butter dressing is sure to become a new favorite. So as I say very often, let’s ditch the store-bought dressings and whip up this easy, healthy, and delicious celery dressing option at home. And discover even more delicious options of my dips and dressings !
