Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces

Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces is all about how great truly healthy food can taste without any of the added junk that ruins most salad toppings. Whether you’re looking for an amazing Italian-style sauce to go on top of zucchini noodles, or something sweet and satisfying for your salad, this book has got it. Besides giving you best recipes I’ve created, it also teaches you how to make your own from scratch using ingredients you have on hand or can get at any supermarket.

The Raw Food Lifestyle

If you think that food is the only thing keeping you down, think again. Although raw foods are a major topic in this book, the focus is on lifestyle – those elements outside the stomach which so radically undermine most people’s health.

Getting enough sun exposure, dealing with social issues, sleep, and thriving mentally are all covered in detail. Ever feel depressed or in a mental funk? There’s a pretty straightforward way to escape, which this book covers.

I like a good salad.

I’m not really the type to just chomp on a head of lettuce by itself -it’s gotta have something savory or sweet on it to dress it up.

When I first went raw I missed the oil-and-vinegar-based dressings I’d grown accustomed to, but soon I realized that you can easily make some really amazing low-fat, salt-and-toxin-free dressings using only fresh ingredients.

I usually whip up one of these babies every night to go on top of 1-3 heads of lettuce or some other leafy green. I now realize that the ability to make good dressings played a big role in getting me settled into the steady adherence to raw.

Since a lot of raw foodists haven’t figured out a good replacement for processed salad dressings, I created, “Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces.”

In it, I walk you through how to make good dressings that won’t violate 80/10/10 principles.

I also include my eight favorite salad dressings recipes, including this one: Corn Medley: 

And this one: Mango Delight

What Is “Savory Raw Dressings and Sauces”?

Sometimes, tomatoes and cucumbers just won’t cut it. You need something with some pizazz to spice up your salad, but traditional processed dressings are full of fat, salt, and unneeded calories.

In the “Savory Raw Dressing and Sauces” ebook, you’ll learn how to make delicious and healthy toppings for your salads.

Besides teaching you how to creatively come up with your own recipes using what you have on hand, The ebook features my favorite eight low-fat dressing and sauce recipes with photos of the finished products and a calorie information for each. I also include information on why traditional oil, vinegar, and salt-based dressings are harmful.
