Hello Everyone

[rawinmichiana]

I'm new to this web site! My name is Dawn and I live in Indiana (but it's so close to Michigan it's called Michiana). I'm also new to the Raw way of eating. So far, I enjoy it. Before I read up on this way of life, I was living on chips and coffee, so this should really do me some good.

I started my transition in November, but got serious about it in January (after the holidays :D ). I still fall down, mainly at dinner time when my family is eating SAD, but starting today, it's 100% raw for me....or at least I'm hoping so.

Well, I hope to be chatting with you guys soon, I just might need your help :o !

Does anyone here have salad dressing recipes or ideas they don't mind sharing? I love something on my salad and have been using texas pete hot sauce :eek: , and love it, but am hoping to find something else a little more healthy.

Welcome! You've found the right place.

p.s. Alissa's book has lots of great dressing recipes.

p.p.s. If you want support, there's a bunch of raw foodists in Chicago - someone there may know of resources in your area. therawfoodartist.com lives there.

Again, welcome!

Lemon Tahini Dressing
1/2 cup raw tahini
Juice of 1-2 lemons
Celtic Salt to taste

Blend all ingredients with enough water to get good consistency. Sorry, I never measure the water, I just eyeball it.
Delicious and great nutrition.
