Orange Tahini Asian Dressing

I love the addition of oranges in my salad. When I made this dressing, it delivered the orange flavour as well as a creamy Caesar dressing consistency. It's a great dressing or dip for anything you're enjoying!

Yield: 1 serving
You will need:
-1 large peeled orange (or 2 small ones)
-1 1/2 cup chopped zucchini (peeled)
-2 stalks celery
-2 tablespoons tahini
-1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon)
-1/2 teaspoon liquid amino soy sauce
-1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions:
Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

I love the crunchy and juicy texture of kelp noodles. Instead of eating them in a salad, I thought I would create a sushi wrap with them. I also made another wrap using swiss chard and it was just as perfect. I think I ate probably 7 of the sushi rolls! Yum! Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 1/2-2 packages of kelp noodles -1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes -3 chopped up green onions -1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms -Any other vegetables your heart desires -7-10 nori sheets Dressing: -6 tablespoons of tahini -3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar -5 tablespoons of lemon juice -1/2 cup of parsley/cilantro -6-7 tablespoons of water Directions: 1.

Continue this process until you are...

Yasmines' Bandara Salad

Image
So every time we head to Cactus Club for dinner, I'm always scoping out their salads. The one salad that I'm sure you could all agree with me as a top contender would be their Bandara Salad. So I have to admit that this healthier salad variation was inspired by Cactus Club. I wanted to put a twist on the noodles and the dressing and I wanted to add edamame as the protein addition instead of the meat or any eggs. We actually had this huge bowl of goodness for dinner and Hass gave it a two thumbs up! Woohoo! Yield: 1 HUGE salad You will need:  Salad: -5 cups of Mixed Greens -1 head of Romaine Lettuce (chopped) -1/2 Red Bell Pepper (chopped) -1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper (chopped) -2 sprigs of Green Onion (chopped) -1 Carrot (grated) -8 Medjool Dates (pitted and diced up) -1 large Cucumber (spiralized to imitate the noodles) -1 small pint of Cherry Tomatoes (diced) -1 cup Corn -1 cup Edamame Beans Directions: Mix all the ingredients in a large bow...
