    Default Easiest and yummiest dressing ever!

    I'm pretty new to raw, so a good salad dressing is key. I concocted this for a (non-raw) potluck to put on spinach salad, and everyone LOVED it! My dish was gone even before the cold cuts!

    In a salad dressing shaker:
    - add 2 avocadoes
    - fill to top with apple cider vinegar
    - add 3 soup spoons of honey
    - add lots o' garlic
    - salt and pepper

    Shake lots! This stays perfectly green for days in the fridge. And tastes lemony, tart and creamy. You might also add some water if it's too thick.

    I've since found that a hand mixer makes the dressing amazingly smooth! But failing that, a fork would work; just mash as much as possible.

    I'd say about 1 part avocado to 1 part vinegar. You might find this too acidic, so you could cut the vinegar with water. The key is to add lots of pepper and good-quality honey.

    Oh, and I've been making this and eating it every day! Goes with everything. :)

    Can you put all the ingredients in a vitamix to blend instead of a salad shaker?

    Sure you can. I used my food processor - I guessed at the amount of acv, just went by the taste.

    Had this dressing on shredded broccoli and carrots for lunch kind of like a nice slaw.
