The healthiest salad dressing in the world
|
The best way to boost the nutrition of a salad is in the dressing! I'm completely obsessed with that bright, tangy dressing you get at Japanese restaurants. With notes of ginger and sweetness from carrot, I could honestly drink it. So, I made it my mission to recreate it at home. My version is secretly packed with extra nutrients...I call it my "ultimate hidden veggie" recipe. I blend whole carrots for sweetness, a big knob of fresh ginger for that signature kick, and a bit of onion for a savory, umami depth. It’s that exact same addictive flavor, but made with whole, wholesome ingredients.
If you want to switch things up, make sure to try my Vegan Ranch Dressing, which uses herbs like dill and chives to get that classic ranch flavor. It is perfect for dipping pizza, veggies, or drizzling over a big salad. Now this Cilantro Lime Dressing is my go-to for taco salads and grain bowls. It takes less than 5 minutes to make in a high-speed blender and adds such a beautiful pop of green to your plate. Here's my trick to adding a little extra nutrients to your salad dressing: I add a few drops of Vimergy's Total Immune Blend right in. I've been working with them to test recipes with their products and this is a simple and delicious way to do it. It’s this amazing, gentle plant-based blend that supports your body's natural defenses for year around immune health. Wishing you a week of easy meals and really good salads!

Dinner does not have to be complicated! I know we all have those nights where you open the fridge, stare into it for way too long, and end up ordering takeout. But I promise your pantry has a lot more potential than you're giving it credit for. My chili oil peanut noodles have been getting so much love lately and I am not surprised at all. We cook the ramen, mix up the sauce in the same bowl, toss everything together, and it's ready in 10 minutes flat. You can also throw in whatever veggies...
You know those days where you just want a big hug in a bowl but there isn't enough hours in a day to cook something elaborate... That’s exactly when I pull out my secret weapon: my dumpling bake. Honestly, it is the literal definition of effortless. You just toss everything into one dish, I’m talking frozen dumplings, some ramen nests, and whatever greens you have, like bok choy and broccoli. Let it all bake away in this dreamy, rich coconut curry sauce. It’s so fast to throw together, and...
I am so ready for the seasons to change. Living in Canada means winter feels like it lasts a decade. But we're so close now to having fresh greens that don't cost $10 a bag... I can almost taste it. There's something about knowing that local strawberries are not that far in the future that makes the last stretch of cold weather feel slightly more bearable. Until then, though? I'm still relying on pantry staples like rice and frozen veggies - anything that means I don't have to bundle up and...
