Salads are so very nutritious!! Our body needs plenty of raw foods to fulfil its needs in vitamins and minerals. But I hear too many times that salad are boring :-(
I believe that the secret behind a yummy salad is its dressing. Here are some ideas for you to play with and find how you most enjoy your greens :-)
Bon Appetit!
FRENCH MUSTARD DRESSING
- 5 Tbsp of Olive oil (raw Virgin)
- 1 tbsp of Wine vinegar
- 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard
- 1-2 shallots

I love this dressing for any kind of green salad or mixed veggies salads...
SOY SAUCE DRESSING
- 1 Tbsp of Activated Tahini
- 3 Tbsp of Organic Soy Sauce (or Tamari)
- 2 Tbsp of Oil (coconut, grape seed, safflower)

This thick and garlic-y sauce is awesome on spring rolls, tempeh, tofu or coriander salads!!
LEMON DRESSING
- 3 Tbsp of Olive oil
- ½ a lemon juice
- ¼ Red onion, finely chopped

This refreshing dressing is great for Taboules or avocado salads
CREAMY CASHEW-AIOLI
- 2 cups of Cashews (soaked overnight, rinse and drained)
- ½ cup of water
- 3 Tbsp of Olive Oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- Big handful of parsley

Put all ingredients into high-speed blender and blend until creamy. Put more or less water depending on what consistency you want.
I love to have this as a dip or with roasted veggies or home-made hot chips.
VEGAN JAPANESE MAYONAISE
- ½ a block of Organic Tofu

Awesome with home-made hot chips when you fell like "healthy junk food" :-)
