Salads, beautiful salads! If you haven’t fallen in love with them yet, you haven’t truly allowed your creativity to shine!   We all know that store bought salad dressings are the worst part of the salad for you, but what are some healthy alternatives?? I asked my friends on twitter for some of their favorite ideas:

@louloulou submitted her favourites: olive oil, orange juice, honey, meaux mustard or walnut oil, balsamic vinegar.

@thriveonlive suggested: Brendan Brazier has a great one using his Vega Oil. 4tbsp. vega oil, 2 tbsp. raw agave, 1 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp. stone ground mustard, sea salt and ground pepper to taste. Used this one a lot when I first went raw…

@hmariey submitted: Vinegar, olive oil, honey, dried cranberries, chopped almonds, a little garlic and onion, soak overnight=fav salad dressing.

@formerfatguy suggests: We love an orange blended with cashews and a little apple cider vinegar as a raw salad dressing.

@janmasters says: Best raw dressing in my house: EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), ACV (apple cider vinegar), honey. Drizzle all to taste. Light, and delish!

@rawbin sent in her fav’s too!  One is an avocado smashed with braggs liquid amino acids.
The other is lemon, tahini, garlic, salt

@k1p1girl snuck in @the last second with: so simple. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil; 2 cloves garlic minced, 3 basil leaves, minced 1/8 t thyme, salt, pepper, dulse, herbal seasoning to taste.  oh…and a dash of cayenne.  problem is… i season to taste mostly so i don’t follow measurements. (winces and apologizes). :~)

Wow! I can’t wait to try some of these out myself!
