Avocado Super Green Dressing

i recently decided to try Amazing Grass' Green Superfood powder and i'm loving it.

i know this is silly, but i was first attracted to the design of their label, it has a very earthy feel and i like that. also prefer that it comes in a glass container rather than plastic (there's too much plastic in the world already and none of it will decompose for the next 500 years : / so i always support and choose glass over plastic when i have to decide between brands).

anyway, besides the esthetics ;) of this super green powder, i love the flavor of it. i actually enjoy drinking it mixed in water, it has a very balanced green flavor, some other brands i've tried taste too much like sea vegetables which although super healthy, i'm not always in the mood for.

of course i also love that it is grown and harvested in the US. other super green powders that i've liked contain greens grown and harvested in other countries. this creates a bigger gap between them and sustainability, and personally i support closing that gap.

in the last two weeks i upped my raw food intake, i ate about 99% of my food raw and this super green powder played a major role in my diet. now i've fallen in love with it so of course i'm gonna share it with you.

this powder took some simple recipes to a delicious new level. from drinks to this one recipe that came out which i really love:

to me it's like the super healthy version of a caesar dressing, i call it Avocado Super Green Dressing

all you need is these organic ingredients:

2 lemons
2 tbs olive oil
1 avocado
1 tsp super greens
sea salt to taste

cayenne if you want to give it a little kick

again, remember that i don't normally follow recipes or write down measurements so try it out starting with these and give or take, change it up to your taste.

basically you just mash the avocado (the riper the better), and just mix all the ingredients in with a fork. it's a thicker dressing that goes delicious when you mix it in a dirty salad. if you want it thinner just add more lemon and oil.

for my salad i like organic mixed baby lettuces, kale, raw zucchini, persian cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell pepper, olives and sprouted pepitas. here's a picture of it :) grateful for the Hollywood Farmers Market and our garden where all the fresh veggies came from.


enjoy!
