    Three Vegan Summer Salad Dressings

    Vegan Summer Salad Dressing Recipes. Creamy Carrot Ginger Dressing, Tangy Cilantro Lime and Zesty Cucumber Ranch #vegan #saladdressing #dairyfreedressing

    Salad dressing is the most important finishing aspect to round out your bowl of green goodness!

    You want it to be just right, because a?fabulous dressing can transform a boring salad into one that you want to make again and again. Today I’m sharing homemade recipes for three Vegan?Summer Salad Dressings,?to accompany your summer salad creations!

    They are:

    • Creamy Carrot Ginger dressing (with anti-inflammatory turmeric!)
    • Tangy Cilantro Lime dressing (with fresh cilantro & optional jalape?o!)
    • Zesty Cucumber Ranch (with hemp seeds!)

    Each is incredibly fresh, delicious, healthy and unique, in their own way.

    The Creamy Carrot Ginger dressing is perfect for glow bowls, indian or asian cuisine type of salads. I would pair it with tofu baked in coconut oil, steamed broccoli and steamed kale for a macro bowl or on any type of fresh salad that needs that something extra!

    The Tangy Cilantro Lime dressing works well with anything, especially Mexican type bowls or salads. I would pair it with a homemade taco bowl using my spicy walnut chickpea taco “meat” or black beans, romaine, corn, bell peppers and extra cilantro. Mmm!!

    And lastly, the Zesty Cucumber Ranch! Does this one even need an explanation?! It will go with any type of salad or glow bowl but can also be used as a dip or on a sandwich (like this one!) to make it next-level. Think baked sweet potatoes over greens with tempeh or chickpeas, a buffalo tofu type of salad (recipe coming soon!), or a greek salad with mixed greens, cucumber, olives, tomato, chickpeas and bell peppers. So many options!

    Okay, let’s get to the recipes! I used my small Nutribullet blender which made it easy peasy! These would work not well in a large blender as there is not enough liquid or substance so if you don’t have a Nutribullet, an immersion blender or a food processor would work just fine.

      Can you substitute flaxseed for the hempseed in the cucumber dressing?

      The Cilantro Lime dressing didn’t work out for me. It was very watery, a little too sweet and the cilantro didn’t mix in well. For a double batch I added another half cup of cilantro, one full avocado, half a lemon and two cloves of garlic to get a more creamy texture, tone down the sweetness and add more of a tang taste.

      Hi, These look amazing. How long will the dressing last in the fridge? Wondering if I could make all three at the beginning of the week, to use throughout. Thank

        I don’t think freezing salad dressing would work well. You can try but if you are worried about having too much then make half the amount of one dressing and see how it goes. I haven’t tried and I don’t think it would taste good!

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
