Sometimes, you make a salad dressing that is so good that it causes you to eat more salad. It doesn’t have to be a dressing filled with cheese, ketchup, or some other unhealthy product in order to taste great. This dressing, for example, only contains 5 ingredients and you can put it on just about anything. Dress your salads, pour it over Buddha bowls, drizzle it on potatoes, or pour it over anything else you can think of. Okay, maybe don’t pour it over cereal or ice cream, but it works with so many other recipes.

Nutritional yeast is valuable currency for vegans and raw vegans alike. It is a deactivated yeast that works as a cheese substitute in vegan and raw vegan recipes. Not only does it impart a cheesy flavor to your food, but it is also a great source of nutrients, especially vitamin B12, which can be tricky for vegans to get without supplementation. Nutritional yeast also contains protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals.

The dressing is very simple to make and you can tinker with the measurements over time. Perhaps you decide to add a little bit of this or that to enhance this already delicious dressing. Great additions include ginger, green onion, cilantro, raw sesame seeds, grade A maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. What goes great with such a creation? More like what doesn’t go great with this creation?!

With spring in full swing, you need recipes that make you feel lighter. Like we always say, it’s never too early to start getting your body ready for summer. Before you know it, summer will be over and those 15 pounds you wanted to lose haven’t gone anywhere. Get started on your summer health journey while it’s still spring! There is no better way to do that than with this kale, apple, and pomegranate salad.

Kale is somewhat bitter and offers a slightly peppery flavor, making it a great salad green to pair with tangy, sweet, and even zesty ingredients. In this recipe, you get to enjoy an assortment of flavors and textures. Offering creamy avocado, crunchy pecans, crisp apples, and pomegranate arils that burst with tartness, this salad is unbeatable. The key is to thinly slice the kale, which makes for a more enjoyable eating experience. It also helps to take some of that bitter intensity away. A pro tip: you can use larger pieces of kale and massage them with a little olive oil and lemon juice to break down the fibers and intensify the flavors.

Do you want to know the best part of this salad? If you don’t have all of the ingredients, you can customize it and use the ingredients you do have. Don’t have raw pecans? Swap them out for raw walnuts or almonds. Thought you had an apple, when you really have a pear? Use the pear instead! You can even swap the pomegranate arils for little mandarin segments. Be creative and follow your taste buds, but make sure those substitutions are raw vegan if you are cleansing!

A lime vinaigrette goes great on a lot of Mexican-themed salads or bowls. Whether the base of your entree is a bed of leafy greens or quinoa and black beans, this dressing will wake up the ingredients. By that, we mean that the acidity of the lime juice and pungent nuttiness of the cumin make your bowl or salad come alive. Plus, you can easily whip up a batch of this dressing in a pinch; you just need the ingredients and a jar.

Unfortunately, you cannot rely on your blender to do the majority of the work for you when making this dressing. Well, you can if you want, but the dressing will turn a vibrant green. We prefer the different textures that this lime vinaigrette has, especially when you get some finely diced jalapeño and chopped cilantro in your salad bite. Don’t worry, though, this vinaigrette is far from the spiciest thing you’ll eat. Although there is some spice, the lime juice and maple syrup do a great job to cut the heat. After all, this dressing calls for the juice of three to four limes, so the flavor is quite zesty.

Once you prepare all of the ingredients, add all of them to a jar, seal the lid, and shake well to combine. Make sure to refrigerate for about 15 minutes before using for optimum flavor. Allowing the jalapeño and garlic to sit in the lime concoction helps to cut the spice of the jalapeño and the allium flavor of raw garlic. Just make sure to give the dressing a good shake before you dress your salads or bowls.

Spring is the perfect season to enjoy as many fresh ingredients, and new ingredients, as many new produce items are available. As you known, we love to eat with the seasons! That’s why we’ve paired this green goddess dressing with juicy tangerine, creamy avocado, and a crisp bowl of spring mixed greens.

Green goddess dressing has seen a large increase in popularity due to social media food videos. After people see how easy the dressing is to make, in addition to how nutritious it is, they want to make it. Although green goddess recipes vary, the general recipe calls for a lot of fresh herbs, lemon juice, oil, vinegar, and seasonings. In the case of this recipe, we abandoned the raw vegan nature and went straight to veganism. Why is that? Well, we decided to use vegan yogurt to enhance the creaminess of the dressing. Besides that yogurt, everything else in this recipe is raw vegan. Should you choose to eliminate the yogurt, the dressing will still taste great, but it won’t be as creamy.

Spring mixed greens offer a variety of lettuces that are harvested in early spring. Typically, the mix includes spinach, red leaf lettuce, and romaine lettuce, but varieties can vary by brand, location, and availability. Eating a mixed bag of greens like this is a great way to get your daily dose of leafy greens. Plus, you don’t have to worry about chopping a head of lettuce if you use this bag, and that’s one less thing to prep!

If you see a recipe for avocado salad dressing, you can usually expect cilantro and lime juice to be prominent ingredients. This recipe contains lime juice but not contain cilantro, so it takes a departure from the Latin-inspired flavor profile. This avocado salad dressing is a bit more herbaceous, almost like a green goddess dressing of sorts. It is quite vibrant and rich, exhibiting a lot aromatic flavors that come from green onion, parsley, dill, and basil.

The ingredient list for this dressing is far from short, meaning there are layers and layers of flavors. Avocados, however, are the prominent ingredients and provide a smooth and creamy base for this dressing. Not only that, but they also provide lots of nutrients that are essential to your overall health. Research indicates that the body can absorb lycopene and beta-carotene, two key carotenoid antioxidants, more easily when you consume fresh avocado with your salads. If you add one cup of fresh avocado to a salad with some romaine, spinach, and carrots, your body’s ability to absorb the carotenoids increases between 200-400%.

The essential fatty acids in avocados may help reduce inflammatory markers in the body, which can aid both brain and heart function. Avocados also play a role in keeping your immune system functioning optimally. They are naturally rich in glutathione, which is a detoxifying agent. Additionally, glutathione helps to cleanse the body of oxidized fat. Is there anything that they can’t do? Please enjoy avocados in this dressing, and whenever you get the chance!

This is an easy dressing that you’ll want to put on every salad. Although it has a spicy kick, this vinaigrette bursts with herbaceous, zesty flavors. And if there is one thing we know…it’s flavor. This vinaigrette is an unusual departure from the traditional dressings you know and love, but that is why we love it. We are of the mind that you need to experiment with as many flavors and foods as possible. So if you bought a jalapeño and can’t figure out how to use it, try this recipe. Plus, it works great as a dipping sauce or marinade!

When it comes to dressings, it is essential to know the foundation of what makes a great vinaigrette. Whether you make a classically simple variation or an exciting one like this, you will usually find similar ingredients in all recipes, most of which include:

• Olive oil: Any vinaigrette worth its salt will have a great oil that binds the ingredients together. You can use avocado oil or grapeseed oil, but olive oil is an excellent choice.
• Acid: Acid usually comes in the form of vinegar or citrus. Sometimes, you use a little of both, as is the case in this recipe.
• Salt and pepper: A must-have duo for dressings, plain and simple.
• Herbs: Fresh cilantro in a dressing is a game changer, but you usually see chives, parsley, basil, or oregano as common vinaigrette ingredients.
• Garlic or onions: Because raw garlic and onion have a strong flavor, use a light hand with these ingredients, so you don’t overwhelm the dressing. You can always use garlic powder or onion powder for a more mild flavor.

Brussels sprouts are rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamin K, and may help regulate blood sugar levels. Although they are the base of the Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad, they aren’t the only nutritional superstars of this seasonal salad. The citrus dressing not only adds a zesty zing to accentuate the ingredients, but it also provides more healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Happy eating!

Isn’t it wonderful when you have a bright and zesty dressing that you can whip up in a matter of minutes? It’s almost as though this dressing is a big dill! Cue knee-slapping dad to enter laughing. Yes, it’s the exact person you’re picturing. Anyways….Let’s get down to flavors.

A homemade vinaigrette is so much better than any store bought dressing you’ll purchase for many reasons. First off, store bought dressings don’t contain added sugars, hydrogenated oils, unhealthy fats, and other preservatives. Secondly, you can use ingredients that may go bad in the near future. That’s how we developed this vinaigrette recipe.

This is a super simple vinaigrette that has some texture. The reason for that is because you don’t blend the ingredients. If you prefer a smoother salad dressing, feel free to blend the ingredients, but sometimes it’s nice to have a chunky vinaigrette. You get a little crunch from the finely diced shallots and chopped dill. What’s great about it, besides the intoxicatingly delicious flavor, is that you can put it on more than just a salad. We really love this on a potato salad, but you can’t enjoy that if you’re still cleansing.

Did you ever think to combine cauliflower and broccoli to make a unique salad? Nobody wants to eat large florets of raw cauliflower or broccoli, which is why this salad is as far from that as possible. Think of this salad as more of a raw rice bowl because it calls for riced cauliflower and broccoli. Simply pulse together the raw cauliflower and broccoli florets in a food processor to rice them up! After that, you can begin making this powerhouse salad.

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower contain sulforaphane, an antioxidant compound that may reduce the ability of cancerous cells to multiply. In doing so, sulforaphane may help slow the growth of tumors, or at least reduce their ability to spread. Because sulforaphane is extremely bioavailable, you do not need to combine other nutrients with it for optimal absorption. Simply eat cruciferous vegetables to provide your body with this antioxidant compound.

Besides the impressive nutritional profile, this salad provides lots of life and color. Although we only have a certain number of ingredients in this salad, you can add more if you want to. Great additional ingredients include red cabbage, carrots, collard leaves, and radishes. The ingredients we’ve chosen work well with an Asian-inspired dressing, so we hope you enjoy it.
