I'm looking to make some delicious and kid-approving dressing. What is your all-time favorite, and with few ingredients? My kiddos aren't big with EVOO, lemon, and ACV like my husband and I are. Hmmm...wonder why?Anyway, I look forward to your responses so I can go shopping for the week. Thanks everyone!

I was going to give you my favourite salad dressing but realised that it was for kids.
Try subbing lemon with orange juice for kids, it might sound weird but tastes great with a bit of celtic salt, olive oil and fresh herbs. Or blend mango and do the same thing.Fresh Living Victoria

Do a search for Snowdrop ranch dressing. My kids LOVE it. I love it!

I'll second the orange juice substitution. I absolutely love it.

Mangoes taste yummy in salad dressing too. They are sweet and delicious!

Yes, thanks katchmoleen ~ I hadn't tried Snowdrop's Ranch dressing before, but I made it after your post and YUM! I used it as a dip and it was so good. *Ü*

I just wanted to add that I brought snowdrop's ranch dressing to a raw food potluck and I had lots of folks wanting the recipe. They scraped every last drop out of the bowl. Luckily, I had some at home waiting for me.
But the real reason I am writing is to tell you I made this with soaked sunflowers that I dehydrated and ground up in a coffee grinder. And it was still AMAZING!!
I find sunflowers easier to digest, and less expensive and easier to find truly RAW.
Peace,
Elena

I keep looking at the recipe and being daunted by the number of ingredients and then calling myself lazy and gazing hungrily at it again...
I better just get it over with and MAKE IT!!!

I'm so glad to know this Elena! Macs and cashews are quite pricey here, but sunflower seeds are much more reasonable. Thanks for sharing your tip ~ I'll try this next time. I'm craving it again!. *Ü* Originally Posted by soulstar
