On Monday I decided no more salads without dressing! Usually the juice of a lime or lemon is fine but I don’t always want the acidity of those two fruits. Today I picked up my “RAWvolution” book by Matt Amsden.

For lunch I made a salad with spinach, red onion, carrots, cucumber, flax seeds and raw sunflower seeds. What kind of dressing would go well with these ingredients? Garlic Cream Dressing of course! The best thing about this garlic dressing is that you’re also adding ginger which is a great addition.

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Nama Shoyu (organic raw soy sauce)
8 cloves of garlic (peeled)
1 1/4 cup raw olive oil
One 3 inch piece of ginger (peeled)

Combine all except the olive oil into the base of the blender. While it’s running, slowly add the olive oil until the dressing thickens (you may not use all of it).

I didn’t have a piece of ginger handy so I used ground ginger and it worked just as well. I probably added a tablespoon of the ground ginger.
