I
am sorry there was no link up last week!
I was taking full advantage of the sun – and also attempting “screen
free week.” I am happy to say
that the what I am eating pinterest board has taken off! Lots of repins from the recipes I have
featured!

This
week I am eating a lot of salads.
Actually, most weeks I am eating a lot of salads these days. Towards the end of winter, my body starts
craving the fresh greens again. There
haven’t been a lot of greens available locally yet, but the farmers markets are
just opening, and I know there is spinach and baby lettuce mix available.

What
I really want to talk about though is salad dressing. I have
started using nut based and non-oil based dressings. At first I was definitely leery of it. I am a big evoo and vinegar dressing kind of
gal. But, this sounded good. And so I started out by doing research on
different recipes, and then decided to make it my own.

Salad Dressing ~
yields about 1 quart
yields about 1 quart
2 cups unsweetened
almond milk

2/3 cup soaked walnuts
1 bunch fresh parsley
Juice of 1 lemon ~ 2
Tablespoons

2 Tablespoons raw
apple cider vinegar
apple cider vinegar
3 Tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon Herbamare
2 garlic cloves or 1
teaspoon garlic powder
teaspoon garlic powder
Put all ingredients in
a blender, and blend until smooth. I have also used fresh cilantro instead of parsley, and even dried dill. I think the parsley gives it a nice flavor, but feel free to change it up to whatever herbs you like. I use a lot of parsley, but it is because parsley is so good for you! Plus, I figure it might help with the garlic I put in the dressing 🙂

What are you eating this week? Have you ever tried “whole food” dressings without oil added? Link up your food related posts below!
Your salad dressing looks delicious. I can imagine it would be lovely as a coleslaw dressing too.
The salad looks yummy! I like to try new dressings, but my old stand-by is lots of lemon with olive oil and salt & pepper. Can't go wrong with that!
Yea 🙂 I've been waiting for this as I've actually been taking pictures for once to link-up. 🙂
Thanks for hosting! Hope the sun's shining for us all this weekend.
Thanks so much for hosting! Hope you have a great weekend!
I don't like milky stuff so I don't think the dressing would fly with me. I do like making my own dressings though. I'm fond of fresh squeezed lime w/ olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Fresh squeezed lime sounds delicious! This dressing comes out really quite thick, and not at all milky – because of the chia seeds and walnuts. I would say it is closer to a pesto consistency. I was hesitant at first too, but it has quickly become my favorite way to dress my salad 🙂
Yum! I will be trying this dressing, it looks delicious!
