Creamy Green Onion Dressing (or Dip) – Heavy on the Vitamin K
Creamy Green Onion Dressing is great on salads or as a dip for vegetables or chips. It is amazing on potato salad.
Green onions, or scallions, give you some nutritional benefits of onions and greens. Sulfur compounds give onions their pungent taste and are quite beneficial in helping prevent blood clots and lower cholesterol. Green onions also have plenty of vitamin K like greens. They are low carb and offer plenty of fiber, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients. (source)
As tempting as it is to use olive oil in this, its strong taste will overpower it. Use a neutral-tasting oil like canola, grapeseed, or avocado.
