You know those days when absolutely nothing goes as planned? I’ve had about 5 of those in a row. Some were big things, some were little.
My mom was visiting. We don’t get along too well, but we’re working on it, and I love her deeply no matter what. She had to cut her visit short and that made me sad. The second she left I went to the kitchen to make this dressing. Eating my feelings, I guess.
This recipe is something I got from her. She loves salad. She doesn’t just eat it because she pigged out the day before, or because it’s healthy, but just because she loves it. When I go visit her, 75% of the meals she makes are salad.
Before she left, she filled up this little cup with flowers. Thanks, Mom.
Mamabear's Green Dressing
Ingredients
- 1 cup of loosely packed basil
- 3/4 cup parsley
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 avocado
- at least 1 1/4 cups of freshly squeezed orange juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Put everything in the blender. It will be very creamy. If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a little more orange juice. Serve over a bed of fresh greens.
Looks really healthy. I should be trying this as part of my new years resolution!
Hurray! Good for you for sticking to NY resolutions. 🙂 I’m still hanging on to mine (some of the time. whoops)
Recipes passed down from mothers are always the best 🙂 This dressings sounds really yummy and different to most dressings I’ve tried! Hope your mum comes to visit you again soon 😉
Thanks! I think she’s coming in the spring. P.S. I love your Charlie Brown and Snoopy bento box! I’m obsessed with the Peanuts gang.
This dressing sounds amazing!! Love it!!
Thanks, Jocelyn!
