No-Mayo Raw Avocado Slaw

I love making creamy, non-dairy based sauces that taste delicious. Sometimes it can take a few tries to get the recipe just right – this avocado dressing took me four attempts! After a couple tries to ‘add this’ and ‘don’t add that’, I think I finally got it just right, so I hope you enjoy it too. Don’t feel like you need to limit the dressing for this specific salad because it would taste wonderful on a variety of vegetables!

If the weather is cold where you are and your body isn’t craving raw foods, it is still very important to continue to consume raw foods such as juices, salads and vegetable-based meals to ensure the consumption of heat sensitive nutrients along with naturally occurring enzymes that plant foods contain. Eat up!
