The struggle is real! You don't want to eat a dry salad, you're tired of the lemon juice thing. If you add delicious and creamy avocado to your greens and top it with a salad dressing, you're adding more fat and calories. How do you choose one over the other? Avocado or dressing? Dressing or avocado? Decisions are hard.
Luckily, I've come up with a healthy salad dressing that will give you the best of both worlds...and it has a zombie-style bite. Full of flavor, this dressing has no processed oils and can be made raw, organic and gluten free! Of course, it's also vegan.
To make your own Zombiecado dressing, you will need:
1 medium avocado
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup loose fresh herbs (I recommend cilantro)
1 tsp stevia or 2 tsp maple syrup (if desired)
1 small jalapeño
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1.5 tsp lemon or lime juice
Up to 1 cup non-dairy milk or water
Salt and pepper to taste
Now, don't be scared! This is easy:
Place all of the ingredients, except the milk, into a food processor or blender (I use my Magic Bullet and it works perfectly).
Blend, adding the milk 1/4 cup at a time until it's the consistency you want. If you want a thick dressing or dip, add only 1/4 cup. If you want a thinner dressing, you could even add more than a cup. It's your zombie and your mouth. Do what you want!
This is also great on grilled vegetables, pasta (I use shirataki or spiralized zucchini), quinoa, etcetera. For a power dressing, you can even add a scoop of greens. Hop up on b12 by adding 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast. Just be careful. It bites!
I'm not going to provide nutritional information, because it can vary greatly depending on how thick or thin you like it. Just a couple of tablespoons provides big flavor!
