In recent decades, misinformation and confusion about fats has led many dieticians and nutritionists to advise against SALAD DRESSINGS (in order to avoid fats and oils in the diet) and to use only a squeeze of lemon or dash of vinegar on them. Yuck. As a result, many health conscious people avoid salads. Avoid bottled dressing and "Fat free" dressings especially. Good dressings take very little time to make and they help to absorb far more nutrients in the vegetables. You can make basic ones with extra virgin olive oil, lemon, Dijon mustard, sea salt and a bit of raw honey, or you can make THIS ONE which is a delicious and creamy Caesar like dressing. ENJOY!!! RECIPE~
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/8 cup virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sweet miso paste (a must)
1 heaping teaspoon or so of raw honey
1 - 1/1/2 cups of water (depending on how thick you like it)
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic
1/2-1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

COMBINE all in a high speed blender and mix well. Adjust thickness by adding more water and taste by adding more sea salt and pepper. SO good!!!
