I LOVE Dr. Joel Fuhrman and really respect what he has to say when it comes to nutrition and how to take care of your body. If you’re looking for a really great book to read, try “Eat To Live” or his other book “Disease Proof Your Child“… I HIGHLY recommend both! Our family takes his vitamins, DHA and EPA supplements too… you can purchase them from his site. All of his supplements are legit, I can attest to that. I’ve never felt better!
Dr. Fuhrman recommends everyone eat a LARGE salad for one of their daily meals since raw, uncooked veggies and fruits offer the most powerful protection against disease. Raw foods contain enzymes, some of which can survive the digestive process in the stomach and pass into the small intestines. In other words, they keep things moving the way they should be! 😉
Since I try to eat a large salad everyday for lunch I’m always on the lookout for new oil-free salad dressings. These two are our favorites! They are much less fattening than the bottled versions and are super easy to make. I make a double batch every week. I also LOVE topping our salads with Goaty Cashew Cheese… YOU HAVE TO TRY IT!
If you like oil-free dressings, you’ll also have to try Oil-Free Raspberry Vinaigrette!
Lite Green Goddess Dressing
Another delicious salad with Goddess Dressing!!
This first one is from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, one of my all-time favorite vegan food blogs. If you haven’t checked out her site yet, I suggest you do. Be prepared to spend some serious time bookmarking recipes though!! I cook her recipes on a regular basis and we really enjoy them! What’s awesome about her site is she’s almost oil-free, low salt and no processed foods… right up our alley!
Susan’s Lite Goddess Dressing
6 ounces lite firm silken tofu (1/2 pkg. of Mori-Nu) – I’ve made this without tofu and it’s just as good
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon tahini
2 green onions, white parts removed, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, packed
1 large clove garlic
Place all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. (The Magic Bullet worked well for this.)
Makes 10 servings of 2 tbsp. each. Per serving: 19 Calories (kcal); 1 g Total Fat; (45% calories from fat); 1 g Protein; 1 g Carbohydrate; 0 mg Cholesterol; 164 mg Sodium

I love Susan’s Goddess dressing! When you say that you sometimes have made it without the tofu, do you replace it with something else? It must be totally different without it, a much runnier texture? I’m sure the flavor would still be totally “divine”. 😉
I forgot to add the tofu once and realized it after I had already poured it on my salad. Yes, it’s a bit runny that way but still delicious! I bet if you added 1/2 tsp xantham gum it would thicken it up a bit. I’m going to try it next time I make it!

Hi I just made the Lite Goddess dressing. I chopped up a litle onion instead of the onion type suggested and it tastes to oniony. I guess I put in too much. What can I add to help make it less onion tasting???
Hmm… Strain it out? Maybe add a little sweetness or add in more spices?

I also love eat to live, I’m on week 4 of the 6 week eating plan. It has changed my life, I feel better than I ever have. The goddess dressing sounds wonderful, I’m going to try it but omit the salt and use water instead of oil?
Sure!! I use leftover bean cooking liquid instead of oil in my recipes. Works great!!!
