It’s time to say GOODBYE to bland, gross tasteless salads.
See you later uninspired greens!
Hello tasty, tangy, sweet, packed with herbs dressing. Hello my one true salad love. Hello my sauce that I am now going to pour over EVERYTHING because it’s that good.
With only 7 ingredients, this dressing is jammed full of flavour and goodness. Are you ready to give it a try?
What happens when the best of two world’s collide? Like, say when hummus and guacamole combine their powers of amazingness to make one dip of delicious?! PURE MAGIC PEOPLE. That is what this avocado cilantro hummus is. PURE MAGIC.
Take the best elements of guacamole- hello cilantro and lime juice- and combine them with chickpeas (because why wouldn’t you?) and you get this dip that you can take to any party, event or just eat at home by yourself. I mean, you love yourself don’t you?
Let’s get to this recipe. It’s creamy, flavourful and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I call that a winner. Want to try it? Read on friend.
I am a firm believer that the dressing makes the salad. You can have great ingredients but if the dressing is only meh… then the salad is only meh. This doesn’t mean the dressing has to be fancy, au contraire, my friend. I’m not into fancy at all and in fact, the less time it takes to make a dressing, the better. TBH, my usual go-to is olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper because I’m lazy like that. But really, a dressing like this is totally worth those extra five minutes. Yup, five minutes and you will have a creamy, dreamy sauce to pour on everything.
I do have a slight obsession with this dressing right now. I am busy putting it on all the things. Snacky? Dressing and veggies. Dinner? Dressing and tacos. Lunch? Dressing and salad. You get the idea.
With so many of my favourite ingredients in it how can I not be obsessed. Things like creamy almond butter, light and flavourful miso paste, cilantro (team cilantro for always and ever here), lime juice and a few others to bring it all together. I was originally going to post this with a bowl recipe coming up but thought it needed a post all it’s own. Are you ready for it?
It’s prime time for margaritas right now given that Cinco de Mayo is this weekend and everyone is looking for an excuse to drink alcohol and eat tacos! I however, mostly prefer virgin cocktails and if I can sneak in something healthy then I’m even more excited. Like this kombucha margarita mocktail! It is fun, so tasty and refreshing and has beneficial bacteria for the gut. What more could you want? Are you ready to give it a go?!
