Isn’t it amazing how many different, stunningly delicious salad dressings there are in the world?! It’s mind-boggling! There could easily be an entire blog devoted to nothing but raw salad dressings — and I bet, in the right hands, such a blog could go on 5 days / week for literally years before truly exhausting the subject.

The world simply abounds with good recipe ideas — and “abundance” is really the mentality you need to embrace when you’re doing anything in the culinary world, raw or otherwise. The other side of the spectrum is the “scarcity” perspective, which is when you think, “Oh, I’d love to write a cookboook or create a recipe, but there are already millions of them out there and all of the great culinary creations have been done already.”

Well, that’s just crazy talk. Sure, there are millions of cookbooks (or uncook-books) out there. And there will be millions more! So, just get into your kitchen and start whipping things together. Don’t worry about whether anyone’s “done it before.”  I’m sure, for example, that others have come up with creamy garlic dressings before. But, instead of researching it, we decided to approach the topic fresh. We said, “How would we accomplish a creamy garlic dressing?” The following video shows the delicious result!

Here’s the final recipe:

Raw Creamy Garlic Salad Dressing

(serves 2)

• 1/3 cup Brazil nuts
• 2 good sized cloves of garlic
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1/4+ cup water
• salt to taste

Process until creamy. Then add whole 1/2 tsp. peppercorns and process again until the peppercorns are well broken up.

Day 5 of raw salad dressing week is coming up tomorrow! What do you think… Should we repeat “raw salad dressing week” again sometime? Please let me know, as I’m not sure how excited most people get about salad dressing.  In the raw food world, we tend to get a little over-excited about things. Must be all of the high-energy we feel 24/7, eh?!
