The dressings, dips and sauces are the perfect complement to many dishes, serve well to accompany the snack at parties or meetings or to give the salad a unique and special flavor. It's easy and fast to prepare in your kitchen in a very natural way, you only need a few ingredients, ten minutes of your time and much encouragement (Did you know that cooking with joy and singing is a practice used by some Hindus to be full of food positive energy?)

  1. Put into a mold two avocados, peeled (leave a bone in the mold). Stir with a fork and mash well avocados. Add chopped onion, lemon, soy sauce, the cumin, a dash of water, salt and stir well.
  2. Blend olive oil with the garlic clove and add to the mix.
  3. Once all ready, empty well stirring into the pan aside (leave a bone of avocado in dressing to avoid spoiling) and decorate with coriander and sesame seeds on top. This dressing is ideal when you have a small party to accompany sandwiches, breads, pizza, sandwiches, potatoes, etc.

    The best part of a good salad of course is the dip you use to make it different from the rest of the salads, and you use your imagination to find new flavors that would go very well with the rest of ingredients, thanks a lot for giving ideas for this

      That basil dressing recipes sounds just amazing!! There’s a reason i love pesto sauce so much, and it’s precisely because I just can’t get enough basil in my diet!! I’m so glad to find ANOTHER way of including basil in meals, in such a healthy way. All of these look great!
