This creamy dairy-free dressing is customizable and a great way to use herbs you might have sitting in your fridge or growing in your garden. 

I used a combination of dill and cilantro, but you can use whatever herbs you have or prefer! Parsley, chives, tarragon, and basil all work well. 

The sunflower seed butter lends a creaminess and adds healthy fat and protein to this recipe.

If you have a high powered blender, you can blend the whole sunflower seeds. Otherwise, using sunflower seed butter will help to ensure a smooth finished product.
