About the Recipe
This Sweet Fire Mustard Dressing or Dip is a bold, flavorful plant-based condiment inspired by Rip Esselstyn’s Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet. Creamy unsweetened plant milk and Dijon mustard form the base, while cayenne and smoked paprika add a fiery kick, balanced by the natural sweetness of dates. Quick to blend and naturally vegan, oil-free, and gluten-free, it’s perfect as a salad dressing, veggie dip, or sauce for grain bowls, adding both heat and sweetness in every bite.
