The best salad dressing EVER.

Ok so ever since getting into Weston a. Price and ordering food from the amish co-op (yes people think I am nuts....) I have been searching high and low for good recipes that include whole healthy ingredients and not processed junk. A lot of recipes I adapt and change but  my friend Katelyn is the queen of health everything and I ask her WAY too many questions about homeopathic remedies for Ily and for yummy recipes. She has always had a passion for cooking and food, even before she learned about how to eat traditionally, and always hands me down really amazing recipes.

This dressing will BLOW your mind, health nut or not, I promise you will love it. I could quite literally drink it. hahaha
I usually put it on a cobb like salad, Spinach, boiled eggs, red onion and amish bacon :) but you could put it on anything really.
 



Black Sesame Seed Dressing
-It will keep in the fridge for a while but it will thicken and get solid so maybe take it out and let it sit for a while before using it. Or it will last up to 2-2.5 weeks in the pantry...just smell it 
2 cups olive oil (I start out with the 2 cups, but sometimes add a little more at the end in case I added to much lemon or soy sauce--I'm bad at measuring stuff)
1/2 c. apple cider vinegar (Braggs is best)
1/3 c. unpasturized soy sauce (Shoya is best)
2-3 tbs. Lemon juice
1/2-1/3 c. black sesame seeds
1 tbs. or 2 nuggets of fresh ginger
5-6 cloves of garlic
I sometimes add a little salt and pepper after blending it through once and then blend it for like 3 seconds more...just depending on the taste.
So you can totally just put everything in the Vitamix and blend it up or you can do everything but the olive oil and add that slowly thru the little hole on top. A normal blender works too, but takes a little longer to blend up the seeds. It turns a dark green color once the seeds are all blended and the olive oil emulsifies.
Its super healthy for you so don't be chinsy

  2. Hey Riss!!!! I LOVE reading your lil blog! so fun. You inspire me to post. I just love this dressing and I needed to share! Homeopathic remedies for ily, for her ear infections so she doesn't have to go on antibiotics or she has had eczema and I am NOT a fan of steroid cream ect.... so there are tons of all natural remedies and medicine that can cure stuff, also foods to eat to help. It's crazy how amazing our bodies are and the more I research the more passionate I become, especially when it comes to ily, they are just so small and developing at such a crazy fast rate, I hate putting bad stuff in her lil system.... Sometimes I feel like such a number at the pediatrician and they just prescribe to get you out the door. I kinda avoid it at all costs! haha.
