I love when you come to dishes you haven’t made in so long and get to enjoy them all over again. I haven’t made this dip in a year and a half and it was so nice to come back to it! Plus if you add some extra oil/water you get dressing for lots of salads too 🙂 So handy! I also love that you can make Raw and Vegan Super Creamy Dips! So awesome!
I made this for our wonderful Surprise Birthday Party for my Dear and Beloved Teacher, Phil! I also made the yummy Vegan chopped liver. I usually make the chopped liver for Passover but since it is so addictively amazing I might start making it year round. YUM! Break out the crudité and enjoy both of these fun dips!!!
Here is the link to the dip: Herbin’ Ranch Dip
All packed and ready to go to the party 🙂

This salad is the perfect combo of sweet, creamy and crunchy! YUM!! I was thinking about serving this over baby spinach but then I just enjoyed it as is. So good!!! This is one of those dishes I would be happy eating all the time!!
My friend Karla, taught me to keep the pit of the avocado in the guac or any avocado dish I make to ensure that it does not turn brown fast. I love it and it works so well!
Avocado, Mango and Jicama Salad

A few weekends ago we were super happy to host both sets of our parents over our house for dinner. We have been so busy lately it was nice to all get together 🙂 It was really great to see everyone and everyone enjoyed the deelish vegan meal I put together! Awesome!! All goodness!
We started off with a Raw Vegan Caesar Salad. YUM!! I haven’t made this in over a year and it was soooo good!! I doubled the recipe and kept the rest of the dressing in the fridge for a weeks worth of salads and dip for carrot sticks! You know when you eat the same food over and over and you don’t want it anymore — that did not happen! It was disappointing when we finally finished the dressing 🙂 YUM!!!
Check out the recipe here Raw Crisp Caesar Salad with Pinenut Parmesan. DEEELISH!!

Summer Corn is Back!! Yeah!! I love Corn Chowder but I decided to make creamed corn tonight! YUM!!! It was really good, although I think I overdid it a little on the cayenne, so that is why I am recommending a pinch not a few shakes like I did. You could also make this creamier by adding soaked cashews into the base before blending. This could also be made sweeter by blending in some dates as well, depending on how you like it. Enjoy!

I haven’t pulled out the spiralizer in a long time! During the raw part of the cleanse I was inspired to break it back out. YUM! I missed these zucchini noodles, so perfect, light and tasty! I love Peanut Sauce sooo much but when I make it at home I normally make it with Almond Butter so it is much healthier for us. Still comes out soo amazing 🙂
See these recipes for more inspiration on making Zucchini Noodles: Fig Fennel Pasta, Amazing Raw “Peanut” Sauce and Zucchini Noodles, Raw Sweet & Spicy Sesame Noodles, Lemon Basil Pesto & Raw Zucchini Pasta, and Raw Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Sun-dried Tomatoes.
Raw Zucchini Noodles and ‘Peanut’ Sauce II

2 garlic clove, minced
juice of 1 lime
3 Tablespoons agave nectar
3 Tablespoons Nama Shoyu
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
In a blender puree together almond butter, garlic, lime juice, agave nectar, Nama Shoyu, water, ginger, red pepper flakes and sea salt until mixture is smooth. If needed add more water one tablespoon at a time to reach a desired consistency.

Love Cleansing! This latest 6 day juice cleanse went wonderfully. I felt amazing and so full of energy. I always feel so good that I hate breaking the cleanse. But I was hosting dinner last night for my inlaws and my parents so I had to eat of course. I started out with a green juice before yoga and then afterwards I enjoyed the most deeelish figs ever!!! Perfect way to break my cleanse! YUM!
P.S. Post on the dinner party to come 🙂

Tomorrow we are starting the Juice Cleanse portion of the July Cleanse, so this was the perfect last meal before a week of Super Cleansing!!
One of my pet peeves is when a salad is full of huge pieces of lettuce that make it difficult and sloppy to eat. Here is one of my versions of the chopped salad. Super easy, tasty, nutritious, colorful and you will even look pretty eating it. 😉 Perfection!
Cranberry, Cabbage & Almond Chopped Salad
1/4 of a green cabbage, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1/4 cup almonds
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Juice of 1 lime
2 Tablespoons flax oil
2 Tablespoons agave nectar
1/3 cup red onion, minced
1 large avocado, chopped
Place all ingredients into a large food processor and pulse-chop until chopped. ENJOY!!
