Let’s be honest about something.

Vegan eating is ALL about the sauce.

And when I say “sauce” that includes marinades, salsas, dressings, dips…basically anything you can slather on something else.

I would say the majority of my meals include some sort of sauce.

Whether it is dressing for my salad, dip for my veggies or salsa for my burrito.

Now, the problem with some of these store bought sauces is that they are packed full of crazy things.

If I can’t pronounce it, I probably don’t want to be eating it.

And that’s what is so great about these 3 dressings.

They are made from whole, real ingredients.

And they have ZERO added oil.

That sounds pretty awesome, right?

Now, that doesn’t mean there isn’t some natural fats thrown in the mix.

Nuts and avocados are my two favorite natural fats for any meal, but especially a dressing. They make the dressings creamy and also add a nice flavor.

Win win.

The 3 dressings we are making today are an asian dressing, an avocado herb dressing and a creamy cashew dressing.

All of these would be great over a salad, in a buddha bowl or in a wrap.

Make one (or all of these) on a Sunday and you will have dressings for the entire week ready to go in the fridge.
