Take a look at what you eat...especially if it can look back at you.

“All animals have the same capacity for suffering, but how we see them differs and that determines what we’ll tolerate happening to them. In the western world, we feel it wrong to torture and eat cats and dogs, but perfectly acceptable to do the same to animals equally as sentient and capable of suffering. No being who prides himself on rationality can continue to support such behaviour.”

Orange/Lime Cilantro Salad Dressing

Yum! This dressing was fantastic.

I've never really given much thought to making my own salad dressing but I was reading through a raw food cookbook the other day and came across this one.

I'm a sucker for anything with cilantro in it so it only made sense to try it. My taste buds were too tempted to resist :)
I'm not a huge measurment person and I was making a one serving portion so I just guessed and added more of the things I liked the most. Here are the numbers for you sticklers:

Orange/Lime Cilantro Salad Dressing
from Raw Food Cleanse by Penni Shelton

1 Cup Cilantro
1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Lime Juice
1/4 Cup Orange Juice
1 tsp Lime Zest
1/2 tsp Sea Salt, Black Pepper
Minced Garlic to taste

I juiced the orange and lime then added the olive oil, cilantro, salt, pepper and garlic to the juicer bowl and stirred. After that I added all of the ingredients to the Ninja (or Blender) and mixed until it was smooth. Mine turned out green with specks of cilantro.

It was amazing. I just added it to a large salad with Spinach, Kale, Onion, Roma Tom, Broccoli, Avocado, Almonds and Bell Peppers.

My breath smelled like cilantro and garlic afterward....sexy :) and well worth it!
