Beautiful salad!
I'm eating more salad but not for weightloss. I'm eating higher raw for the benefit of more nutrients and the power of food enzymes. So I make big, nutrient dense salads for lunch and do try to have some type of raw veggie, often salad form, with part of a cooked meal.
we are so on the same wavelength! that's an awesme dressing. =)
Absolutely gorgeous salad! I am definately going to try this recipe. Thank you:)
OK, I'm going to make the salad dressing for dinner!
Dressing was good! However, I was lazy and did not peel the apple.
Oh gosh, your dressing sounds SO good! I love how healthy it is! I need to get me some cashews!
I absolutely love salads, but I find them a little tedious to make. That's why I love already prepared salad bars! :D
This was the first salad dressing I ever made.... Delicious. I replaced half of the cashews with navy beans and added a sprinkling of cinnamon. Yummy... Thank you!
I made this tonight and it was delicious!! Love the dressing! I didn't even bother to peel the apple and just threw it all into my Vita-Mix. Worked great.
When I'm losing weight the salad is always the main course. When I'm not....the salad seems to slip away.
But be careful to use good dressings!
