My go-to alternative would be to soak about 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds for about 2 hours. Drain pipes the seeds and put them in the mixer together with about 1/4 cup water to begin. Include all of the other non-oil components and mix on high, including more water if needed to get whatever moving. Once it’s velvety and smooth, offer it a taste and include more lemon/zest/salt and so on to your preference. The dressing will be more on the velvety end, however will still work well for the pasta salad I believe. Likewise, you might have a bit more dressing than you require (you sort of need to make a minimum quantity when handling nut/seed-based dressings made in a mixer). You require about 3/4 cup of dressing for this dish overall.

Did you grate any of the white pith listed below the lemon peel with your passion? It’s exceptionally bitter tasting and might be the reason that you experienced this. I constantly utilize a Microplane to get simply the leading layer of lemon peel and none of the white pith. Aside from this, I can’t envision what else would represent the bitter flavour. It’s possible that your olive oil had a naturally bitter/peppery flavour too that was more noticable given that the oil uses up a big volume of the dressing. Have you tasted the oil alone prior to cooking with it? Hope that this response is at least a bit valuable.
Thanks for your remark!

I made this salad this weekend for a household barbeque and it decreased a reward! I’m from Germany and generally pasta or potato salads are extremely mayonnaise-heavy, not vegan-friendly at all. Everybody, even my extremely sceptical father, liked it. I made a huge batch expecting leftovers for the week however it was all passed completion of the day.:-RRB-
I included a couple of handful of basil both to the dressing and the salad and subbed half of the oil for water– scrumptious. Absolutely believe this will end up being a barbeque salad staple!
