I tried out a new recipe so I thought I’d share it. I ended up putting this over a salad yesterday in place of dressing, it was actually very tasty. It’s very hard to find a no oil, vegan/plant-based dressing. They are mostly made with a vinegarbase which is very very acidic. This was a very nice alternative that was unexpected. This would also be really tasty over a baked potato or just plain.

Some recipe notes. If you’re using frozen rutabagas, watch how much water you use, I found I had a little too much water in the pan. Also I couldn’t find canned black-eyed pea’s and I didn’t feel like starting with dry, so I ended up using pink beans and it worked fine.
