This very creamy southwest dressing can be made vegan or not - just change out the cashews for mayo if you don't have any dairy or egg concerns and this recipe will whip up fast!
Nothing adds flavor to your favorite southwest dish than a great dressing. The problem is most dressings are loaded with sugar and preservatives that just add empty calories and aren't so good for you.
This dressing takes all of the yucky stuff out and leaves you with lots of flavor and a smooth, creamy dressing that you can use on all kinds of foods. If you are vegan or have health concerns and need to avoid the dairy and eggs this is the perfect dressing for you.
The other great thing about this recipe is that it has some pretty simple ingredients that you usually have around the house. It whips up quickly and you can store it in the fridge to use all week. I haven't tried freezing this, but I bet it would freeze well and just need to be re-blended when you pull it out of the freezer.
You can use this dressing in so many ways:
Ingredients
Directions:
This dressing works great on a southwest salad, a black bean rice & quinoa bowl with veggies and avocado’s or even as a dip for chips. You can drizzle it over veggies or sweet potatoes for extra flavor. Anywhere you want southwest flavor- add this dressing!
If you are not vegan or don’t have a dairy or egg concern, feel free to trade out the soaked cashews for mayo of your choice – this will make a faster dressing. For vegans that want a quicker sauce, use a vegan mayo in place of the cashews.

This is one of my Mom's old family recipes and she use to make it every fall as soon as the apples came into season and every Thanksgiving.
The whole house smelled like apples and spices...such a great memory. I thought I would share this with you as it is like a hug from back home whenever I smell this cake baking in my oven...from my house to yours I am sending Thanksgiving wishes and love with this recipe.
This can be made sugar-free, low carb or gluten free
I just harvested the last basket of zucchini squash from the garden with some fresh parsley and decided to make one of my favorite quick and easy recipes - Zucchini Patties!
These are so easy to make and they are perfect for a quick dinner or they are great for breakfast as well.
Rosehips are the fruit of the rose flower. Most people are familiar with and understand how touse rose petals but are not so familiar with rosehips.
If a rose is left on the plant and not picked, it is fertilized by pollinators and the petals will fall away. The base of the flower then swells and develops its "fruit" which will look like a pod.
It is usually a soft peach color or can be pink during the hot months but once the frost hits the fruit it becomes a beautiful crimson color. This is when the "hip" is ready to be eaten.
