Ingredients

½ cup paleo mayonnaise (avocado oil based)

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

3 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon coconut aminos

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1 small clove garlic clove, minced

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Gather all ingredients and add them to a quart-sized mason jar, blender cup, or high-sided bowl.
Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If you prefer not to use an immersion blender, vigorously whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until fully combined and emulsified.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed—add more black pepper, lemon juice, or fish sauce to suit your preference.

Nutritional yeast and coconut aminos require a second stop—Harris Teeter carries nutritional yeast in the natural foods section, but coconut aminos is harder to find locally and may mean a trip to a specialty grocer or online order. The 5-minute timer is honest for mixing, but the real cost driver is the combination of fish sauce, nutritional yeast, and olive oil hitting $2.50 to $3.00 per serving depending on your oil choice. This is a bold, umami-forward dressing that keeps beautifully in the fridge for a week, making it worthwhile for meal prep, though the ingredient list warns that this is not a grab-and-go pantry dressing.
