Ginger Dressing (Vegan, Nut & Soy Free)

I'm so far behind on posting recipes we really like which fit into the whole foods plant-based lifestyle of eating.  Therefore, I'll post some recipes without pictures to speed up the process, I hope!  This one is a delicious salad dressing or can be used as a dip.  The original recipe uses almonds (very yummy) but our trials of eating nuts haven't gone so well.  Raw sunflower seeds are just as delicious!

Ingredients
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2/3 cup water (or more to thin)
1 small garlic clove
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste

Directions
Place all ingredients except curry in a blender (a VitaMix works the best but an immersion blender or regular blender may work).  Blend until smooth adding water to thin is out to desired consistency.  Add curry at end to taste.  Dressing thickens when refrigerated.
