I wanted to share another raw salad dressing with you. This one is so creamy, so easy, and super delicious.

Well my focus this new year is to stay committed to my blog as well as Instagram because I get so much joy from both. I have found wonderful friends in both places and hope to continue finding interesting and loving people via these outlets. I wanted to share a delicious 3-ingredient raw salad dressing with you. It also has a few spices but you get the point, it's super quick to make and super delicious. I tossed mine over a large bowl of romaine, tomato, carrots, and mushrooms.  You could even use less water and keep it thick for a vegetable dip.
