Ingredients You’ll Need
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Almond Milk: Use an unsweetened light soy milk for this recipe. I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry!
- Chickpeas
- Olive Oil: I like to use fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color.
- Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it
- Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, this country dijon is a favorite in our pantry… I’d stay clear from yellow prepared mustard for this recipe and opt for a more flavorful mustard.
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to the plant-based hollandaise.
- Salt and pepper to taste
