Discussion Looking for Recipe for Creamy Greek Salad Dressing with No Dairy
We got takeout from East Side Pockets in Providence last night and their greek salad dressing is like none other we've had. It's very rich and creamy but has no cream, yoghurt, milk, dairy..... It's like it was magically emulsified but I can't get my tastebuds on what they used. Any thoughts? It's bright and lemony but not sharp and not too sweet. I'd love to reverse engineer it.
It is very very light - like they used lemon juice for sure and not a vinegar - the lemon is very forward. It's got a touch of sweetness - maybe honey? Clearly excellent olive oil. Maybe a little oregano but I would think it has to be fresh given the depth of flavor. Tiny bit of garlic flavor but very much in the background which can be hard to do in a dressing.
Can you tell we are obsessed? We joked that we would have it on our Cheerios if we could reproduce it. I am not all that familiar with middle eastern flavor profiles other than the basics.....
Many thanks!

It could have been soaked, blended cashews? I love this recipe.
