How to Make Almond Salad Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, almond butter, honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.
  2. Add the mandarin orange juice and zest. Whisk until fully combined.
  3. Stir in the toasted slivered almonds.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more honey for sweetness, rice vinegar for tanginess, or soy sauce for saltiness).
  5. For a smoother consistency, blend with an immersion blender or in a regular blender for a few seconds. Alternatively, leave it slightly chunky for added texture.
