I love the expressions you two come up with!

[@wtillett243]

I mixed this dressing with hummus and it made a great topping for salad.

[@kurt41990]

I’ve found my dressing! Yesterday was my one month anniversary for starting my whole food plant based diet. (Down 30 pounds!) This whole time I have struggled with the one giant salad each day because I have not found a dressing that I have liked. This is it! Thank you! You guys have been so helpful through this adventure. I appreciate it so much!

[@cynthiaj5296]

Hey Guys. Love ya both. Made this with a few additions of my own. I increased the tahini to 3 Tbsp. Added 2 tsp of miso paste because miso paste makes everything better. Instead of the liquid smoke (I don't have any) I used 1/2 tsp smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp of ground chipotle pepper. If you guys haven't tried ground chipotle pepper you need to get some; it is great stuff. I have lost 10% of my body weight on WFPB since December 1 2019. I am 4.5 lbs from being in at the healthy BMI range. No one I live with or hang out with does this but me so it is great having a online community. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@christyboatwright9478]

I have made this a few times now and absolutely love it!! I enjoy it on salads and potatoes and just about anything! Thank you for the recipe. Keep the videos coming! You guys rock!

[@bettyc6045]

Peef's little salad is so adorable!!!!❤️

[@mtnlayde01]

I’ve transition into a WFPB diet over the last 2 weeks & I haven’t found a dressing for a salad. This salad looked awesome. I did make the Veggie Soup Brian made a few videos ago & that is one I’ll keep making !!! I’m doing the WFPB to stay healthy not so much for weight loss but have lost weight. My energy level has increased. Good job 👍 love your channel & your personalities

[@pamhill222]

Love Peefs little salad!

[@belle6219]

Next time no onions!

[@mommab8205]

Thank you for your delicious salad dressing. I added ketchup, pickle relish, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika and made a 1000 island dressing my NON-vegan husband, mom, and kids love. Again thank you! My husband HATES bean and finds it difficult to enjoy most veggies. I may never win him over to the way I eat completely, but I’m eliminating one processed item at a time, and y’all played a big roll in it today.

[@allhalewendy]

thank you!!! this dressing has completely rocked my world! It is sooooo yummy! Y'all need to write a cook book!!!

[@chavak3497]

OKAY.... Just made the dressing and am eating it over air fried sweet potato fries and an onion/garlic/beet green saute. Oh my. Brian knows what tastes good and he comes up with unique new flavors that are marvelous! Make the dressing!

[@jenniferlavender4391]

Omg peep’s salad is too cute!!!

[@777Valmarie]

Val Marie here once again,, you know I'm a fan when I like before I listen! LOL! Thank you for the great recipe,, can't wait to try it. Have a blessed week!

[@essentiallyleigha]

Can't wait to try this dressing! And would love to see Brian make a "ranch" knock-off salad dressing!

[@persus5756]

We are having salad tonight for dinner and I made your dressing. It's delicious! I made it as written and didn't really change anything. I used max amt of smoke flavoring! Excellent recipe, Brian. I just discovered your channel recently and my husband and I are starting WFPB lifestyle. Thank you for your channel and inspiration. 🙏♥️😎✌🌻

[@byusaranicole]

I'll definitely be trying this! I desperately need more salad dressing recipes! Also, love the text commentary you add during editing... Lol!

[@barbhayes5613]

Love your on-screen comments! You two are so much fun! Thank you, Brian, for creating such wonderful recipes. Cheers!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Glad you like them! Thank you for watching! 😀

[@ruthannhahn562]

Sounds like a good dressing to message into curly kale and placed into a dehydrator and/or oven for Kale Chips

[@marie-claudegoulet6714]

Ruthann Hahn thanks for the idea , will try for sure

[@StitchedbyTasha]

This has actually been my go to dressing for about a year. So yummy!!

[@debbieguthrie2307]

You need to start your cook book soon. Hi Peef, hi puppy, great nails. Such a fun video

[@simonedrenkelfort74]

OMG....best dressing ever!!!! 🎉🎊🎉 it’s soooooo yummy 😋 sunny greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@comom2055]

I make a dressing with tahini, lemon, garlic, and nooch. It’s my go to but I’m going to try this one

[@lulamamie8524]

Looking forward to the Brussels Sprouts recipe!! This dressing sounds delicious 😋 Thank You for sharing!!!

[@carriedeane9379]

I made this dressing last night and it’s amazing! I took your advice and adjusted it to my taste by lowering the lemon juice to 1/3 cup and used 4 dates. This is now my favorite dressing!!! THANK YOU...,

[@Angel-re8wm]

made this for a second time... this time using Brian's suggestion of switching to smoked paprika and also the suggestion of using 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice. Wow, this is my favorite! It's amazing on salads and Brussels sprouts! I could see it as a topping for other sandwiches and stuff too! Thanks guys!

[@Corridors9]

Just made the dressing, don't have liquid smoke so used smoked paprika. LOVED IT!! Thank you so much. It's amazing.

[@marimurdock7766]

Peef's little salad is so cute!! ♥️

[@binbody5673]

Yes it is very tangy

[@katjahalbmeier6272]

This Amazon shopping list is great!

[@jademusic1211]

Thank you, guys! Keep the dressings coming! I love salads, and can use more ideas! 🙂♥️

[@rrhodes7594]

I can’t wait for your cookbook! I’m not a vegan, but I’m doing an ETL challenge. When I’m done I’ll try this recipe! Sounds like it would be amazing with Brussels spouts! You guys ever thought of doing a challenge? Oh, I ordered Andy Roo’s The Stuff all purpose seasoning. Can’t wait for it to get here!!

[@zcolorz39]

I just made the dressing except I didn’t have tahini and added hempseeds. It was amazing! Thank you Brian

[@janetrobison2765]

I use tahini, lemon juice, water, maple syrup, liquid aminos, and coconut aminos

[@soli4838]

I tried a garlic plant based on the cruise ship on the Holiday Holistic cruise n man it was delicious! Can u create a garlicky salad dressing pls?

[@sandracarli1110]

You might like mine! I use it every day. You need 2 TBS sunflower seeds (ground in a coffee grinder - I don't drink coffee so mine is always clean to grind seeds), 1 TBS apple cider vinegar, 2 TBS lemon juice, 2 TBS of water, some salt and 1 little (or big) clove of garlic. Some parsley or other chive if you like. At the beginning the sunflower seeds are kind of grey but the lemon and vinegar 'bleaches' the powder so people think I used yogurt! I hope you will like it!

[@soli4838]

Sandra Carli ty!

[@sandracarli1110]

@@soli4838 I like it tangy. If you like it a bit sweet, you can add 1-2 dates. I forgot about that. ;)

[@pda2836]

Brian's recipe is a classic recipe - the base is the the lemon juice and tahini (or you can use most any seed). Keeping the dates and adding raw garlic will create your garlicky dressing. A shot of dijon mustard will also help. Thin it out with water or even plant milk for a creamy dressing. Good luck!!

[@soli4838]

pda isnt Tahini high in fat?

[@thelittlemac01]

Oh my goodness I watched this right before bed so I had already eaten dinner and wasn't hungry but my mouth started watering like crazy! Thanks for the delicious recipe I am super excited to try it!

[@tfrankum01]

Love the “fork flip” at the end...drummer sighting!! 😂😂

[@RoseMaryBowen]

Looks delicious. Look forward to the Brussels sprouts video.

[@carolro6673]

I made this dressing and I thought it was amazing. The smoky flavor was perfect. This is one of my favorites.

[@ElinorRumming]

I am growing impatient waiting for my Vitamix to arrive... this will be my first recipe made in it! 😋

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Oh, thank you! That weirdly means a lot to me that first recipe will be one of mine. 😀

[@jodypaulson255]

I love that little plate for Peef!

[@jillfariss2950]

This dressing sounds amazing! I will definitely be making this! It would make an excellent base to play with. Mmmm, how about a Creamy Balsamic by swapping liquid smoke for balsamic vinegar? Or a Sun-Dried Tomato dressing (not the ones packed in oil, of course!) possibilities are endless! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@letstalk5186]

I just love you guys so much. I was just watching your one year video again. Have y'all lost more since then? I love your energy and amazing food. Keep up the positive vibes! (Peef eat your salad!)

[@mymaryholcomb]

Yum! Thanks, Brian and Jessica.

[@sharit7970]

Thanks for posting...looking for a sweet/ smoky dressing for a broccoli salad [which traditionally has bacon]. My omnivore daughter will be eating it, so this dressing should fit the bill. Thanks again!

[@Carcarfranklin]

Peef is so cute with his little salad!! I’m going to remember to pick up tahini from Trader Joe’s bc the one I bought was chalky and ended up doing nothing for me. So ya everyone uses tahini and obviously I love hummus.... but haven’t found a product I like from the store. That was a GREAT bottle btw. Can’t wait for Brussel sprouts- I love them.

[@mariette4257]

Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@sonsiehollingsworth5342]

This is getting made in the morning for sure 😍👏👏 AWESOME job !!! LOVE you two crazy kids ❤❤

[@CynJ544]

I will be trying this for sure ❤️

[@terrychilko2123]

Tried this dressing tonight and I love it! How can such a simple recipe taste so perfect! I used just 3 dates, so it was delightfully tart. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you!

[@pcchilek609]

Yay for a cookbook 👍👍

[@michelleatallah6182]

I tried it last night and it is delirious. I didn’t add any salt, but I added the zest of the lemon before juicing it. Thank you.

[@beccasteele6874]

Your channel is fast becoming my favorite

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Wow, thanks! Happy to hear that! 😀

[@StephanieJoRountree]

I've saved several dressing bottles just like those that I use for dressings and infused oils. Recipe sounds yummy!

[@sitapkseverson861]

I made this for lunch for my husband and me. SO GOOD!!!!! I make a lot of dressings and this really adds variety for us. Thank you!

[@sharonlynn3358]

This will be the first dressing I try after Mary's mini! 3 more days!!

[@suzied.8301]

Thanks ….. We will try it.

[@errorerror1337]

Great looking sauce but I darn you Krocks! I darn you straight to heck! For the Brussels sprouts tease! Gaaahhhh! They're one of my fave veggies so can't wait for that one!

[@nellievance]

I made it and it's good! Thanks for sharing 💚

[@christeljulia]

You guys have been so helpful-- sauces and dressings loom large in my kitchen panoply, historically, and finding oilfree versions is a challenge. Thank you! I'm making roasted cabbage steaks tomorrow, and I bet this would be perfect as a side sauce.

[@Teresa-ni7og]

I tried the dressing and it’s so yummy! I was short some of the Lemon juice so I used a small amount of lemon essential oil to make up the difference & it’s amazing . Thanks for this delicious stuff❤️

[@susandurandstone4278]

I’ve been tired of salads too, going to try this today! Thanks for the inspiration! Love you guys!

[@hairnerd86]

This looks really good! I'm always looking for easy delicious salad dressings!

[@julissaescoto3737]

Can't wait to try it, thank you!

[@MrGraphmark]

Not a smoke fan but I’m going to try with fresh dill. Thanks!

[@temperhollow7716]

Thanks for this - I bet it's good on chickpea and cucumber salad!

[@glowronkyra]

Finally made this dressing, it is really really good. Was wondering if there might be a way to thicken it?

[@rettahart]

I missed the live chat, again. Bummer. But, after watching, heard you mention cheese. As this was the hardest thing to eliminate from my diet, I was thrilled to discover Jill McKeever’s “ Game Changer Cheese” I use it all the time. Pretty ding dang close. Nothing but good ingredients. Check it out. That’s my 2 cents. Love watching you guys !

[@epikjoy]

Thank you for sharing! If someone doesn't like the smoky taste could they substitute dill or some other flavoring?

[@kathyinigarida578]

Is a 'will make' very soon. Sounds really good. Smoky gets it every time. Thank you for sharing.

[@anniecarbonneau1634]

Looks yummy!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

It is! 😀

[@m_9714]

both of u have inspired me to be healthy and loss weight and i did it thank you for giving me hope

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Awesome! 😀

[@rachaeldawn9544]

Love the fancy nails Jess.

[@trisha5563]

Question please. If you can't find Mejool dates....Can you use regular (Deglet Noor) dates?

[@smallfootprint2961]

Looks so good.

[@geordieinca9834]

Bing bang boom!

[@carolgreenlee1100]

I need dressings to use with roasted vegetables salads etc

[@cherylrobinson517]

Yum...gonna try this😊

[@kpammo]

Hi Krocks! You mentioned a baked fry recipe in a video, and I can't re-find it! You linked to another lady's video - could you refer me to your video with that in in it? Thanks

[@bkwats1017]

Making this tomorrow! Thanks!

[@Taai02]

I’m going to try this for kale chips 🥳

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Let me know how they turn out! 😀

[@buzzylogic]

Should have had sandstorm - darude playing during the blend part. Dressing looks awesome!

[@elysecatelyn6431]

This looked really good and easy. I already have all the ingredients so I'll be giving it a try :)

[@debbiehartwell8465]

Is that blender pitcher glass?

[@carollloyd7178]

Looking forward to trying this dressing!

[@MrsPlantinTexas]

Will try this! Sounds delightful.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

It's so good!😀

[@Number8gurl1963]

Thank you!! I'm going to give it a try along with your hummus. Desperately need to get off of the store bought hummus for my salad dressing. I use Cedars which is much better than Sabra as far as calories and fat content but it still has oil and currently that is the only oil in my life and I want it gone!! Tried Engine 2 and couldn't stand it so hoping your hummus recipe will satisfy my hummus hankering. I've been making a dressing with chickpeas, nooch, roasted red bell peppers and some pickled banana peppers or jalapeno and it is also pretty darn good.

[@janetgonzalez7729]

Kudos to Brian... he's getting really creative with the non-oil recipes!!! Can you please share where to buy the liquid smoke? I'm in Florida and couldn't find it at Aldi's nor Trader Joe's. Thanks!!!

[@chrishumphrey4306]

Janet Gonzalez publix

[@dawnmorants4180]

Can’t wait to try! Not a tahini fan so I’ll explore other options. Did you soak the dates?

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

We did not soak the dates. We just pitted them and tossed them in the blender. 😀

[@Claire-oq7ut]

Haha you guys manage to make me laugh within the first 5 secs!!! But I would loooove to see a chocolate hummus recipe, your regular hummus is the best I’ve ever had and I can never manage to make a chocolate one I like but I like certain store bought ones. My favorite vegan dish is either a jalopleno wrapped in fake bacon stuffed with vegan cream cheese, chives and some green onion, seasoning and some vegan cheddar mixed in baked in the oven or I do it with dates. Life-changing.

[@raindropsonroses9091]

The salad looks delicious! 🥗

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

I threw it together in just a couple of minutes from stuff we already had prepped in our fridge 🤩... butter lettuce, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, carrots and banana peppers!

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Tahinah is liquid gold 😉

[@staceyturner9486]

What would you suggest to substitute for the liquid smoke?

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

You can just leave it out OR try 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika... though it will change the color of it 🤔

[@shelleyanne3522]

I was going to ask this question too.

[@desireelloyd2697]

Nice, thanks!

[@TuscanyFill]

Thanks for posting such great recipes. I hit the link to the recipe and wanted to print it out for my special collection of favorite recipes, but the print button does not work on any of your recipes on your blog site. I did a screenshot so I would have it, but thought you would want to know about the print button. I just printed something else on my notes so I know it’s not my printer. I REALLY love your channel! I think Brian should be a narrator for audio books. He has the best voice ever for that. Some of the narrators have awful voices so it deters me from listening to the book. Ha ha

[@Tipperary757]

Uh oh making me hungry late at night.

[@CC-re1pu]

Thank you!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

You're welcome!

[@shess1640]

Thank you! I'm going to make it tomorrow.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Awesome, I hope you like it! 😀

[@gramz-en3wb]

How do you make your pickled peppers?

[@cukk-hj9xn]

Do you have a recipe list of homemade dressings?

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Right now, no. I am working on more salad dressings. 😀
