Many of the very delicious raw vegan salad dressings are made out of nuts and like it is often the case with food, all those mind-blowing recipes usually involve the more expensive ingredients. As a traveler my budget is something I watch very closely and although I like to indulge in the really good stuff when it comes to food, this is not something I need every day.
Sooo, here is a very simple and budget-friendly dressing recipe, that you can easily adapt to your taste buds with any herbs and spices that make your dinner salad to a winning combo.
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 red onion 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 thumb ginger
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1-2 cups water
- 1 bunch of spring onion
Sunflower seeds are available pretty much anywhere around the world and in my experience they are a very affordable ingredient. If you include nuts and seeds into your salad, let it be in a salad dressing like this or as a topping, chances are higher that you don’t grab for some fatty snacks as a dessert since it makes your meal much more satisfying and fulfilling.
I just threw everything into my blender and waited for the mixture to turn bright yellow and creamy. I then coupled this bowl of sunshine with a colorful salad mixture and ready was my raw vegan dinner.
What meal would you coat with this tasty sunflower seed dressing?

I cannot agree more Sweetie, sunflower seeds are the most affordable, but I didn't know you can make dressing out of them. This is a very clever idea and I am definitely going to try it 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇

Thank you, Lena! Some seeds tend to be too bitter for a dressing or might not give it this creamy texture - but sunflower seeds seem to have the perfect characteristics for that.
Let me know how your dressing turns out. 😉

Looks great! I love simple yet super flavorful dressings like this. So much better than anything pre-packaged out of a bottle.

So true, at least you know what you've put in there, many ingredients on ready-made dressings sound more like chemical toxins than food (and unfortunately in many cases they are just that 🙈).
Thank you! 💚

Yum, what a creative dressing! I could see this on some pasta or even zucchini noodles too. Good job @rawadventuress. I love how all of your recipes are health conscious without sacrificing taste.

Oh yeees, they would be a great fit for zucchini noodles!
Thank you so much, that is pretty much my way of life - I couldn't imagine going back to any unhealthy food that only harms me instead of nourishing my body, mind and soul. ☺️

Pumpkin seeds are super delicious as salad topping, I love them, too! To make a dressing they might be too bitter though, but I actually never tried that. 😁
Thank you, Sheryl! ✨
