Sunflower Herb Dressing/Dip

Yum! I found this on one of my favorite blogs. www.nourishingmeals.com. Go here to see more. A nutritionist and my ND both recommended their cookbook "Whole Life Nutrition" posted in my  side bar.  


1 cup raw sunflower seeds, soaked for 4 to 6 hours
1/2 to 1 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Herbamare or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 to 2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried thyme
small handful fresh parsley

Place the sunflower seeds in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for 4 to 6 hours then drain and rinse. Place into a Vita-Mix or blender with the water (less for a dip, more for a dressing), lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and peppercorns. Blend on high for one minute or until very creamy and smooth. Then add the herbs and blend on a lower speed until combined but not completely pureed
