I hate to feed into the stereotype that vegans only eat salad… but there’s nothing better on a hot day than fresh, loaded greens. And while making your own dressing MAY sound intimidating, I promise you it's not! Meet my favorite quick and easy salad companion: creamy garlic oil-free dressing!

My favorite way to enjoy this rich, nutty dressing is over a salad made with equal parts arugula, spinach, and basil, topped with fresh veggies. (Pick your favorite veggies, but here's a tip: what grows together, goes together. In season always tastes best!)

Serves: Enough dressing for 4 salads

Prep time: 5 minutes
