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.

Thanks, Jocelyn!
