Avocado-Orange No-Oil Salad Dressing (a Raw Vegan Recipe for Anyone)

This luscious dressing is mild, creamy, slightly sweet, uses no oil, and is vitally “alive” with avocado, fresh orange juice, garlic, and raw honey (or agave nectar, if as a vegan you do not consume honey). Use it to dress up any salad, or as a spread on a raw or “rawish” Salad Sandwich. Would make a nice guacamole-type dip for raw chips, and a tasty substitute for sour cream when making raw tacos. This dressing would also make a great raw coleslaw!

I whipped it up by hand, which accounts for the lumpy appearance; alas, my Blendtec was otherwise engaged. But if you pop it into your own blender or food processor, you’ll get a lovely smooth consistency.

This recipe is enough for a salad for one, which I prepared here with a bit of chopped kale, some sliced red onion and a bit of sweet orange — very simple, but satisfying, fare. And what I love about this… there are no tricks. It’s just high-water-content, living whole foods at their best! :D

It looks delicious!!! But, is it really vegan if one of the ingredients is raw honey? Maybe blue agave substituted would taste as good?

Yes, you’re right, Kam — although there are many people who live a raw vegan lifestyle who do eat honey, if you are a vegan purist then most certainly agave nectar could be used!
(I added a little comment on the page to clarify this – thanks.)
