The theme for this South Arm Cooking Club for Seniors Kitchen is Fall Vegetarian Meal featuring some superfoods.
The first superfood is nutritional yeast. I have not heard of nutritional yeast until today.
Here are some facts about nutritional yeast extracted from wikepedia.org which Michelle shared in the kitchen:
- nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast
- source of protein
- usually fortified with B vitamins
- can be used as a cheese substitute in mashed or fried potatoes, tofu
- tasty topping for popcorn
- often used as nutritional support for vegetarians and vegans
- best flavour from Red Star brand
This nutritional yeast dressing is creamy, cheesy and nutty. This dressing is great on spinach or mixed green salad. It lasts for about a week in the refrigerator.
