Be warned: the dressing in this recipe is so addictively delicious, you may find yourself looking for excuses to make it for every meal. It’s a thick, creamy, and intensely flavourful sauce that truly steals the show.
What makes it so irresistible? It’s the perfect trifecta of fresh, salty, and rich. The fresh, citrusy punch of a whole bunch of coriander is perfectly balanced by the salty, umami depth of real parmesan cheese and the rich, creamy texture created by the egg yolk and olive oil emulsion.
The addition of pumpkin seeds adds a subtle, earthy nuttiness that rounds out the flavour profile, giving it a complexity that sets it apart from simpler dressings. It’s thick enough to be used as a dip for vegetables or a spread for sandwiches, making it incredibly versatile.
While it’s the perfect complement to the crispy chorizo and bean salad, don’t be surprised if you make a double batch of the dressing just to have on hand. It’s that good.
