Every time someone tells me that they have a hard time eating salads, I always tell them that what they are in need of is good a dressing. Not just any dressing, but one that is still healthy and free of any added oils. Why ruin a perfectly healthy salad with a fatty and unhealthy dressing?
Before going vegan and eating healthy in general, I was used to eating my salads doused with ranch dressing. Well, I decided to make a healthier vegan version of ranch dressing, and this is what was born :) I was also inspired by my friend
Ashley Clark and her raw vegan ranch dressing that I was fortunate enough to try at a potluck last summer.

I made this recipe in collaboration with 
These glazed carrots have that oven-roasted appearance and taste, but they are actually cooked on the stove and SO EASY to make! They make the perfect appetizer or even an add on ingredient to

If you don't have all of these ingredients OR if you do not like some of them, that is okay! This recipe is actually all about the dressing --sauerkraut and hummus-- then you can add in whatever you'd like inside of it. 
A quick and easy summer salad for you all to try out!
This is what a go-to dinner looks like for me, mixed fruit over a large bed of greens with a fruity dressing :) I do also at times eat a large serving of cooked veggies and rice, but summer has me craving something a bit more fresh!
