The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This is a handy, savory dressing that keeps in the fridge nicely for four or five days. It tastes best on the second day, because it's a lot thicker and almost creamy.
Beware: garlicky!
When not in a garlicky mood, I love to use a simple apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing. But when I'm in the mood for some zing, I go for this raw garlic salad dressing recipe.
I find that this is a versatile dressing that, in some ways, mimics a ceasar salad dressing (on day two and after, because it's thicker after having been refrigerated).

Is there any way to make something similar to this without oil in it?

This recipe is similar to a Lebanese family recipe that my grandparents have made for years. Its my FAVORITE!!!
The main spice they use is Za'ater, which I think goes perfectly with this salad dressing. I personally love to add a pinch or two of really hot chile powder (like habanero)!

Hi there! Thank you for this recipe & your site...I've been following raw vegan the last month & a half and starting to get very bored with my salad dressing. I am glad to have found your recipes.
As I have a sensitivity to citrus do you think this would work with substituting apple cider vinegar instead? Thanks :)

Yes, great idea for the citrus substitution - that should be fine. (Maybe reduce the amount a little.)

Olive oil is the best kind of fat for your arteries. I come from Corfu, Greece, where there are about 3 million olive trees, a legacy from centuries past. I assure you, until WWII, there were hardly any circulatory diseases on the island. Have you heard of the Mediterranean diet?

How is *one cup* of oil, olive oil or not, good for one's arteries and heart? This may be raw, and it may be delicious, but it's hardly healthy. That's a boat load of oil.

OLIVE OIL AND COCONUT OIL ARE FINE. THEY ARE THE GOOD FATS. BESIDES,YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CONSUME THE ENTIRE ONE CUP. I ASSUME YOU WILL HAVE OTHER PEOPLE AT YOUR TABLE.

Simple raw garlic salad dressing
I made this for the first few days of a full body cleanse! The lemon was a bit tarter than I expected. I may try lime or a mix for the next batch! I'll post a photo under a separate comment (phone issues), if that's ok?!

Simple raw garlic salad dressing
I made this and fell in love! I have to make all my salad dressings due to health issues my diet is extremely limited. I crave salad because of this dressing. I love the tangy flavor the lemon provides and rich texture from the olive oi. So happy!

Simple raw garlic salad dressing
Super yummy dressing! The only oil I generally keep in the house is coconut oil which I didn't think would really work. So, I used a half cup of cashews and a half cup of water to replace the olive oil. The dressing turned out fantastic! Another great recipe from the Rawtarian. Thanks!!!

So glad you liked it, Christine. Way to troubleshoot without the olive oil! Sounds like an interesting twist, actually. I might have to try your tweaks because they sound creative and wise. Glad to have you here with me!

I love your site LJ and have shared it with others. About the botulism, I have been eating raw garlic with olive oil for many years now. I have never gotten botulism either.

Since there is an acid in the recipe (lemon juice) and since it's wisely kept refrigerated, there isn't much danger of botulism. It's best to use this within a week, and to thoroughly peel and clean the garlic. (Garlic itself isn't the culprit, it's really bacteria from the soil the garlic was grown in.)

Hello! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it :)
I added nutritional yeast and some water to the sauce, then tossed the sauce with lightly cooked beets, carrots, broccoli and brown rice, topped with avocado. It was absolutely delicious!!
If you're curious - I was inspired by Life Alive, a great vegetarian oasis and organic cafe http://lifealive.com (one of my all time favorite places).
Thanks again!
