Herbed Almonnaise

The skins on the almonds make this spread
quite grainy, not the smooth consistency
of mayonnaise but they add both flavor
and fiber and that's a good thing,

Ingredients:
3/4 cup almonds with skins on
1/2 cup soymilk or water
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Fresh herbs of your choice

Directions:
In a small skillet, toast almonds
until golden brown, stirring often
and watching very carefully so not to burn.
Combine almonds, soy milk, garlic and
vinegar in a food processor until smooth.
With the processor running,
slowly pour the olive oil in a thin stream,
letting the mixture slowly gain volume.
Once it becomes light and fluffy,
add fresh herbs of your choice.
Season to taste.
Will become thicker once refrigerated.
