Named after the 3-6-9 oil it contains, this dressing is hard to describe. It’s savoury and sweet all at the same time. It is very versatile, working equally well on salads as on rice or noodle bowls. A blend of different oils, 3-6-9 oil is designed to contain the ideal balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. It provides all of the good fats you need, without any of the bad fats you should avoid. If you can’t find it at health food stores, you can subsitute flaxseed, hemp, or even olive oil.
Yield: 2 cups (500 mL).
