Raw Creamy Italian Dressing

I am ready for the weekend. I’m ready to finish the laundry and cleaning from our camping trip and enjoy a little down time. So are the pups, Miko is ready for more play time.

I’ve been enjoying a lot of salads, smoothies, and oil-free stir fries this week after a few days of rich eating while camping. I love vacations, but it’s nice to get back to the food/fitness routine too. This is a simple, creamy hemp seed dressing with an Italian garlic kick that works well with a variety of salad ingredients. I even added chopped pear to this salad for a fun, sweet surprise with the tangy garlic.

Raw Creamy Italian Dressing

  • 1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
  • 2 tbsp. wine vinegar
  • 1 small clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and blend to a smooth and creamy texture. Serve and enjoy! Makes 2-4 servings.

The dressing packs a strong garlic kick while being creamy and comforting without oil and sugar.

It completes a hearty meal salad with a savory depth and bright herbs.

  1. You had me at CREAMY! I love creamy dressings, but I NEVER use dressing on my salad because they’re ALL CRAP in this world, unless you make them yourself… Which is EXACTLY what you did ;)
