7/17/25: The Art of Summer Flavor - Dressings & Sauces That Make Everything Better
In this episode, I'm getting into one of my favorite summer topics: dressings and sauces that will absolutely transform your meals. We've been having fun with cool soups and practicing our salads, but now it's time to talk about those magical flavor enhancers that bring our food to life.
I'll walk you through the essential components of creating incredible dressings and sauces - from choosing your base (whether it's water, organic apple juice, or fresh citrus) to adding those perfect flavor elements like dates for sweetness or fresh herbs like basil and cilantro. Your blender is going to be your best friend here, especially when we're working with soaked cashews or almonds for that dreamy, creamy texture.
I'm sharing some of my go-to recipes that I know you'll love: a rich miso almond sauce, my ever-changing pumpkin seed dressing with toasted seeds and fresh parsley, a zesty tahini dressing that's perfect for noodle salads, a gorgeous avocado dressing, and even a fun strawberry dressing that screams summer!
The key here is creativity and fearlessness in the kitchen. I want you to play, experiment, and let your food guide you toward creating these beautiful enhancements for your salads and vegetable dishes.
