How to Make the Best Creamy Herby Hemp Dressing
This creamy herby hemp dressing is a game-changer for anyone looking to add more plant-based nutrition to their meals. Made with hemp hearts—one of nature’s most complete protein sources—this dressing is packed with omega fatty acids and delivers a rich, creamy texture without any dairy.
What makes this dressing truly special is its versatility. You can customize the herb profile to match whatever you’re serving: fresh dill pairs beautifully with cucumber salads and fish, parsley keeps things bright and fresh for everyday greens, and basil transforms it into something almost pesto-like for grain bowls and pasta salads. The nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy, umami depth that makes this dressing surprisingly satisfying.
Ready in just five minutes with a high-speed blender, this dressing is perfect for meal prep. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and drizzle it over roasted vegetables, use it as a dip for crudités, or thin it out for a light salad dressing. It’s keto-friendly, vegan, and absolutely delicious.

Hemp Dressing
Instructions
Hemp Dressing
- Place all ingredients, except the herbs, in a blender.
- Starting on low speed, gradually increasing, blend until creamy and smooth (make sure the garlic is blended).
- If you need to add another tablespoon or two of water to get the blender going, that is fine.
- Add the herbs, blend until chopped up finely.
- This will be a good "dip" consistency. If you'd like a looser salad dressing, add a little more water or olive oil (just 2-3 tablespoons or so). This is best served chilled, and will thicken in the refrigerator. Store in a sealed jar or covered bowl in the fridge.
Notes
- For a looser consistency, add 2-3 tablespoons more water or olive oil.
- This dressing thickens when refrigerated - add water to thin as needed.
- You can substitute 1 teaspoon white miso paste for the nutritional yeast.
- Fresh chives also make a lovely addition to this dressing.
