Dreamy Avo Dressing

Mmmm. Melt in your mouth. Floating on a cloud. Icecream. Tangy. Oh sorry... you're here!

I was just describing to myself the texture of my latest favourite recipe. Not quite a guacamole but not quite a dressing. Hmm. Yeah I know, it's not that often that you have left over avocados (at least, not in our big family) but this day we did and I got the taste of an avocado dressing in my mouth. So I grabbed some avos and made some and this is how it turned out! Dairy, sugar, gluten, ect... free!

Dreamy Avo Dressing

2 1/2 Avos

3 T   Lemon Juice

2 lg  Cloves Garlic

1 T   Olive Oil

2 t    Salt

2 T   Savory Yeast Flakes (optional)

1/2 - 3/4 cup Water

Method

1. Blend all ingredients until smooth!

It's that simple! For a thinner consistency, add more  water.

Kale Seaweed Slaw

I'm not a fan of raw cabbage, I'm not a fan of kale - cooked or raw (except in smoothies :P), but I'm a fan of this salad! I was skeptical today as I helped "Mum" make it but as I smelt and tested the dressing and I smelt it all mixed together, I couldn't wait to try it. When I did, I was sold! And you will be too!

1 Bunch Kale, washed, destemmed and shredded
1/4 Cabbage, shredded
1/2 Cup Arame Seaweed (soaked 10 min and drained)

DRESSING
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
2Tbs Lemon Juice
1 1/2Tbs Unpasteurised Miso
1Tbs Agave syrup (probably could use honey instead)
2Tbs Onion Powder
1 Clove Garlic


Method:

1. Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a blender ad blend till smooth.
2. Massage the kale for a few moments, to soften. The mixture should take on a 'cooked', broken down appearance.
3. Toss with remaining ingredients and serve.
