SALADS
Creamy Cashew Dressing
By Dr. Ben Kim, http://drbenkim.com/
When I design dairy-free dietary programs for clients, I often recommend eating small amounts
of raw, organic cashews on a regular basis, as cashews are extremely dense in healthpromoting nutrients, and their natural creaminess and sweetness make them an excellent substitute for many dairy-based foods and snacks.
The following creamy cashew dressing recipe creates a rich dressing or sauce that goes well
with vegetable salads and pasta dishes. It's naturally abundant in healthy fatty acids, magnesium, and tryptophan, making it a healthy choice for your cardiovascular, nervous, and musculoskeletal systems.
2 cups raw, organic cashews 1-2 cloves garlic 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice Sea salt, to taste 2 Tbsp chives or green onions (optional) Water
Blend all ingredients until you get a smooth and creamy sauce-start with just a 1/4 cup of
water and add more as you blend until you reach a consistency that you like; for a thinner version that's good for salads, use more water; for a thicker version that's good for pasta dishes, use less water.
If you want to serve this delicious cashew sauce with an all-raw dish, make healthy pasta
noodles out of zucchini.
