Need Ideas for Raw or Mostly Raw Salad Dressings
I eat a no-dairy, no-soy, & no-wheat diet. We eat a lot of salads, and don't generally buy pre-made salad dressings. I need some ideas from raw or mostly raw salad dressings.
I already make a plain one with vinegar (I use raw cider), oil, salt, pepper and mustard. Sometimes I add basil, oregano & garlic. I made one recently that I like a lot with lemon juice, oil, salt, pepper, garlic and fresh mint. I have a raw caesar and raw ranch one too. Sometimes I add hemp seeds to make the dressings "creamy". Any other ideas? |

I use salsa a lot.
A blended avocado works great, too. Just add spices you like and you can thin it with your favorite milk. If you google raw vegan dressing, you will get a ton. If you eat raw egg you can make dressing with that as a base, as well. |

:popcorn I have yet to see a store-bought, corn-free dressing. Bananacake, will you share your ranch recipe?

Re: Need Ideas for Raw or Mostly Raw Salad Dressings
I make the ranch dressing recipe below. I pretty much followed the recipe exactly (hard to believe!) except I used hemp seeds instead of cashews (so Bear could eat it) and I halved the vinegar to make it thicker. I also did not use any fresh herbs, and you don't need to soak hemp seeds.
http://thesunnyrawkitchen.blogspot.c...ng-or-dip.html Ranch Dressing/Dip Soak time: 1-2 hrs Preparation time: 5 Minutes Number of Servings: 24 (or 3 cups) Ingredients 1 1/2 cups nuts (cashew or mac or combo) soak them for a creamier dressing (1-2 hrs is fine, then drain) 3/4 - 1 cup filtered water for blending 3 tablespoons lemon juice (translates into approx 1/2 lemon) 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons agave (or 3 soaked dates) 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon garlic pwd 3 teaspoons onion pwd 1 teaspoon dill 1 tablespoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon basil And to add after it's done: 1/4 cup finely minced parsley another 1/2 t dill, minced Directions Vitamix blend all ingredients till creamy and smooth except the last 2, then once blended, stir in the last 2 ingredients. Thickens in fridge. Thin to desired consistency if using as a dressing- or toss into wet lettuce leaves as is. |
