Almond Dressing & Mango Salad. Raw Vegan

4/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Homemade salad dressings are very tastier than the store bought ones. Avoid all those preservatives and artificial flavors and make your own dressing. The good thing about homemade is you can customize for your own needs. You can sneak some nutrition into your dressing. Here I am adding some nutritional yeast in my almond dressing. For those mothers who always wants to give nutritional food for their children and family, this is a nice sneaky idea. Along with protein and good fats from almonds and cashews, this salad dressing contains Vitamin B from nutritional yeast.
Ingredients
For dressing
1/2 cup almonds. They can be sliced or whole.
1/4 cup cashews.

1-2 tbsp of nutritional yeast flakes.
1-2 tbsp olive oil.
1-2 tbsp plain yogurt
2 garlic cloves
A pinch of dry oregano and a pinch of dry basil.
1 tbsp lemon juice.
Salt to taste.


For Salad
1 cup of slightly ripened mango.
1 cup of pomegranate seeds.
1 cup of green bell pepper.
1/2 cup of radish.
1-2 cups of lettuce.
1/2 cup of toasted walnuts.

Preparation
For dressing

If you are using whole almonds, soak them in water for 30 minutes. You can peel them if you want. 
Peel the garlic cloves.
For Salad
Cut all the vegetables into your desired size.
Collect the pomegranate seeds from the fruit.
Toast the walnuts

Procedure
Salad
Mix all the cut vegetables and toasted walnuts in a bowl.
Dressing
Take all the ingredients into your blender jar along with some water. Blend them into a thick but pouring consistency. Take it into your serving bowl. When you are ready to serve pour the dressing over your salad.
Helpful Tips
You may keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You may also use this as a fruit dip.
Health Information
Nutritional yeast is a good source of Vitamin B. This is not same as the one we use to bake bread and naan. You can mix this flaky powder in your food as a supplement.
Almonds contain Vitamin E along with good fats. They also contain magnesium and potassium which are good for cardiovascular health.
All the vegetables that are used here will provide you with anti oxidants and dietary fibre.
