I’ve been a high energy, video making freak today. Count them… 5 videos I made and uploaded to YouTube. Here is one of them. I’m chatting about how High Raw can be a slippery slope and how it feels at day 57 of my Raw Reboot.

Oh! And don’t forget to enter my awesome giveaway here… The company sponsoring it said if we get a good response, we can do it again. :)

Here are my food journals.

Raw Vegan Recipe: 4-Ingredient Magic Dressing

by Kristen in 4-ingredient magic dressing, easy raw vegan recipe, salad

Here it is! My 4-Ingredient Magic Dressing! I have been dressing my salads with this almost daily for about a month. It’s magical because it’ll make everyone love any salad you put in front of them if it’s dressed with this. My whole family goes crazy over it.

Get ready to really love salad.

4-Ingredient Magic Dressing
Recipe by Kristen Suzanne of KristensRaw.com
Yield 2/3 cup*

1/4 cup raw cashew butter (I’ll be teaching you how to make your own soon!)
1/4 cup filtered water
2 tablespoons coconut vinegar**
1 1/2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free, reduced sodium)**

Place the ingredients in a bowl or mug and mash it together with a fork. Now, to make the perfect salad, put all of the salad ingredients in one big bowl. Pour the dressing on top and then toss the salad until the dressing coats it all. I usually use this one recipe to cover a salad that serves two really big portions. The salad we’ve been making the most with this is: romaine lettuce (my favorite), orange, raisins, red bell pepper, cucumber, and sprouts. (Carrot and tomato sometimes make an appearance, too.)

* If you’re making this as a single serving, then stir together 2 tablespoons raw cashew butter with 1 tablespoon coconut vinegar, 2 teaspoons tamari, and 2 tablespoons water.
** I have made this with fresh lime juice, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar – all very delicious, but my favorite is the coconut vinegar. You can also use Coconut Secret’s Coconut Aminos in place of the tamari.
