Finally Something Savory!
As you know I have a sweet tooth and love love love my desserts, so naturally this is what I prefer to share with you, plus they're much more fun to post about! I do eat other things too though, LOL. For example, my daily fare normally consists of green juice, raw veggie soup with seaweed, chocolate, salad, and of course, dessert. The juice is the same every day, the soup is a basic combo of any of the following: zucchini, peppers, spinach, avocado, tomato, herbs, and/or celery blended with water and seasoned with seaweed....and my salad is also similar every day, BUT I do change up the dressing every few days so I'd like to share some of my faves - the "tried and trues".

1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp cayenne (optional)
¼ c lemon juice
¼ c olive oil
2.5 tbs acv
2 tbs nutritional yeast
1-2 tsp sea salt
1-2 tsp black pepper
2 medium cloves garlic
1 large date
This next dressing posted by Ingrid on Natural Living Cuisine is really nice. I like to add either some lemon juice or more apple cider vinegar as I prefer a bit of a tangier dressing.
Dill-icious Dressing

So there you have it, my top 5 salad dressings...but I'm always on the lookout for new faves - do you have some great ones to share?!

Heathy!!!! you gorgeous girl!!! How are you?? last time I spoke to you, you and your mother(?) i think it was, came to AZ to spend a week at that retreat here in tuscon!!!! I've missed you!!! So good to have come across your blog!!<br />HUGS!!
Heathy, I love this post, I tried the raw ranch that Carmela posted, YOWZA, loved it, so can't wait to try these, thanks!<br />deb
Thanks for the recipes. I can't wait to try them.
Hi Heathy,<br /><br />I love your blog! Do you use a high speed blender (Vitamix or Blendtec)? I can't seem to create a creamy consistancy when I make recipes and I was wondering if I would need to invest in one of these blenders. Thank you!
Anon - acv is apple cider vinegar<br /><br />Malynda - OMG Hi!! How are ya girl? Whats new in AZ these days? We keep thinking about coming back there since we loved it so much!<br /><br />Debbie - oh yeah, the ranch is good too! I think you'll enjoy these. <br /><br />Stephanie - yeah, you'll definately want to invest in a high speed blener for many raw recipes. You'll be glad you did!
Yummy!! I just made the Tomato Dressing and am dipping cauliflower and broccoli florets into it. It is tart and spicy and wonderful! I can't wait to try the others. <br /><br />My favorite dressing that I came up with is<br />1/4 c. sunflower seeds,<br />1 clove garlic<br />1 scallion<br />1 Tbsp cumin<br />juice of 1 lemon<br />3/4 c. water or more as needed to blend<br />1 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)<br /><br />Sometimes I blend in a big handful of cilantro, sometimes I add in a couple Tbs of nutritional yeast. Hope you like it!
Hi Healthy,<br /><br />I am an editor at Ulysses Press, an independent book publisher in Berkeley, CA. We're considering publishing a Raw Cupcakes cookbook for next winter, and are looking for potential authors to write such a book. We'd need at least 50 recipes, though preferably closer to 75.<br /><br />Let me know if you're interested in discussing the possibilities.<br /><br />best,<br />Nick Denton-Brown<br />nickdentonbrown@ulyssespress.com<br /><br />-- <br />Nick Denton-Brown<br />Acquisitions<br />Ulysses Press<br />(510) 601-8301<br />www.ulyssespress.com

I can't wait to try your famous dressing on my next salad. I get creative with salads, but not dressings.
I just had some spinach with the tomato dressing. I added a little cayenne pepper and went very easy on the oil. It's great!
Hi Heather,<br /><br />I made your caesar dressing, except I substituted the nuts for chia gel and it made the most delectable creaming dressing ever!!<br /><br />You are an inspiration and I have now read every single post on this site :D<br /><br />I'm also going to purchase all your books as soon as I get paid.<br /><br />Hopefully one day you'll come visit Perth, Australia - we have some of the best beaches and wineries in the world :P<br /><br />xo Angie
