Salad dressings
I am looking for salad dressings that do not use oils, nuts, avocado, or very many seasonings/salt if any. Like, something along the lines of 811 type "dressings" if you can even call them that!
Maybe a universal veggie that I could use as a base for everything? Spinach might work, but I'm not sure. I just want a variety of yummy dressings to get everything to stick in my salads.
Thank youuuu! <3

I love to use Mango these days. Before discovering how similar the texture is to fat based dressings, I never enjoyed my salads without fat. But now, I toss in a ripe mango, an orange, maybe some fresh basil or cilantro and some water and vitamix it all together. Deeeeelicious. And the texture and feel in my tummy is right. And yes, if you throw in some spinach, or a couple of sticks of celery you get a "saltier" taste. Of course, sometimes, I still add a couple of cloves of garlic - but it sounds like you want to be more "pure" than that.

I don't know if you use miso- but it makes a creamy dressing that is excellent. You said you don't like nuts but are seeds ok? Chia seeds make an excellent thickener, and are great with mint and basil. Sesame seeds make a great dressing- like tahini.

I used to blend tomatoes and peas because the peas added creaminess without using nuts/seeds.

Wonderful idea since alot of people need to try and stay away from some of the fats. I never thought about this. Are you using frozen peas? I do not find raw peas around unless just frozen.
I am looking for a mustardy dressing. Is mustard considered raw? I went to a get-to-gether a week ago and had a wonderful mustard-agave dressing. Wondering if this was just as said or if anything else was added. So simple.

From what I've read. Frozen fruits are raw but frozen veggies are parboiled before freezing so technically they aren't raw.

If you live in US, check the ingredients on the frozen peas, as most of them have salt added.

Another way to think about this is that "frugivore" is a word used by scientists to describe any animal that eats a fruit-based diet (including virtually all of the anthropoid primates). "Frugivore" has an accepted scientific definition. "Fruitari...
Hi Priyam and RGG,
Even blending them is a big step down in quality from eating them whole, for a number of reasons. The pre-chewing argument -- often heard -- doesn't really carry much weight as the benefit of chewing in the mouth is that any re...

Try this. I found out about it when I worked at Jubbs longevity. There is absolutely no aftertaste and a bottle lasts forever. I've been using it for years. Lucky Vitamin has amazing prices on many things too.

I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...
