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!!!

Almond Poppy Crackers
Adapted from Martha Stewart Living
Ingredients:
Makes about 20 crackers
1 ½ cups / 5.1 oz / 145 grams almond flour (Bob’s Red Mill works great)
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fine grain salt
1 large egg white

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and place in a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine almond flour, poppy seeds, olive oil, salt, and egg white. Mix well. Transfer mixture to the lined baking sheet, cover with a sheet of parchment paper and with a rolling pin, roll out dough to a thin rectangle about 8 by 12 inches. Carefully peel off the top parchment paper sheet and with a paring knife (or pizza cutter), cut into crackers.
Bake until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes (watch closely for the last few minutes because the crackers can turn from brown to burnt rather quickly)
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Once cool, carefully snap the crackers apart along the score line.
Store at room temperature in a container with a tight fitting lid. Best if used within a week!
Enjoy!

Coconut Flour Pancakes (Gluten and Dairy Free)
¼ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil, plus extra for frying the pancakes
1 tablespoon of honey
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup almond milk
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and honey until mostly smooth (a few small lumps of coconut oil is fine). Whisk the eggs in one at a time. Add the almond milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
3. Fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula, and mix until just combined. Try not to overwork the batter, or the pancakes won’t be as fluffy.
4. Heat about 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large saute pain over medium high heat.
5. Add batter (1 heaping tablespoon makes one pancake) and cook for about 2-3 minutes on first side. The batter will not bubble as much as traditional pancakes, so be sure to check the underside and flip when golden brown. Cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side.
6. Continue cooking pancakes in batches until all of the batter has been used, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed. You should end up with about 12, 2 inch pancakes
