I rarely use oil in dressings anymore and that’s mostly because they are calorie dense and heavy on the digestion. I feel very strongly about using your calories wisely, and when you’re eating high raw (or all raw) it’s easy to consume thousands of calories in goodies and oil .. so use your calories wisely.
That being said, I actually haven’t weighed myself in several years nor do I actually count calories. I eat close to the Earth and follow my body’s cues. I know that when I eat too much fat I feel heavy and my digestion slows, but when I don’t eat enough my energy levels are low.
Yum! This salad looks delicious! Avocado is always a must in my salads. 😉 I prefer to make my own salad dressing, too. it's WAY better than then trashy store bought ones. X
Agreed! And avocado is just one of those things that I think raw foodies can't live without 😉
This sounds perfect! I am so picky about my salad dressing, but I love garlic and dill. 🙂
Same here .. once you open up to the world of homemade dressings there is no turning back!! Glad you like it 🙂
