Juice an orange and throw a couple of dates...2-3 in blender. Yummy!

Two tomatoes, some fresh basil, and the juice of an orange is soooo delicious blended up. Words can't even describe how good it tastes over a giant salad of romaine, spinach, and whatever fruits and veggies and greens you like to throw in there :)

ok heres a couple :

1. beets, strawberries with a date or 2

2.Tomatoes (1-2), red bell peppers (2), Juice of a lemon or lime, dill or coriander

and my friend Esra recommends,

"There are so many ways that you can make a salad dressing! Were you looking or something sour/tangy or sweet?

Here are some of the simple ones that I make regularly:

Tomatoes, bell peppers (red or orange), tangerines/oranges

Tomatoes, bell peppers (red or orange), mangoes

Tomatoes, bell peppers (red or orange), lemons

You can add fresh herbs to them, like coriander or mint, you can add a *tiny* bit of ginger...there are limitless options really. I also always through in a handful or two of greens :) "

Blend the following:

- half a pound to a pound of cherry tomatoes (pending on how much you love cherry tomatoes)

- 2-3 pieces of sun dried tomatoes

- a few leafs of parsley

- a few leafs of basil

- 2 TBS tahini (skip if you don't do the overt fat thing)

- lemon to taste

- green onion (just the green bit, not the white, eww)

- a tiny bit of water

I just got raw tahini in the mail today and had my first salad with it- I just added a little water and the juice of a lemon and it was so good. It was good to have a substantial salad dressing- I don't think I am trying all the recipes available because something other than straight lemon on my salad was a welcome change. I have been eating so much less overt fat, so some tahini a couple times a week should be okay. So good- thanks, ya'll for putting these recipes on here. Gonna try them all!

I second this one. It's so easy to make! Had some tahini / lemon tonight! Just want to add that if you like it a little sweet, a teaspoon of agave nectar will take care of that.

I have not really cared for salad dressings just a few like an Asian one made out of Tahini and ginger but it was higher in overt fat. I prefer my salad naked but not without flavor. I pick a few herbs out of the garden (just a few leaves) chop them up finely and mix in the salad. The little bursts of flavor replace the need for dressings.

Does anyone have a simple 'Italian vinaigrette' recipe? As 80/10/10 friendly as possible? Thanks

This is my favorite salad dressing: http://www.therawmonkey.com/2012/07/02/savory-salad-dressing-with-t... It has a similar taste to traditional dressings, but is obviously much more fresh and fruity too!!! Hope you like it :) Esperanza xxx
