Asian Salad and Sun Drenchers:)


Ok, so I've had a break through. A Healthy breakthrough :) I've been sick of the same old salads I've been having, I always do a dressing consisting of olive oil and lemon, because that's healthier than the alternative store bought dressing loaded with bad oils, mayonnaise, and preservatives. However, I have to admit that I have been longing for a change! Well yesterday I was looking on green smoothie girls site, and she had an interview with one of the creators of Sun Drenchers, I wont go into detail because I will give you the links if you want to find out more about it, but basically Sun Drenchers is a dressing that's actually good for you. It's created by a raw foodist so they are 100% raw, organic, and gluten free. The ingredients in these dressings are amazing, nothing bad for you, if you have a chance you should definitely read more about them here.

Of course after reading about Sun Drenchers I ran right out to my local Good Earth and bought some. I got the Italian and Asian Sun Drencher. I was a little hesitant to pay the almost $10 each, but decided to go for it. I made an Asian salad today to try out my Asian Sun Drencher. Now, this is hardly an exact recipe, but here's what I put in my salad:

-red cabbage
-green cabbage
-shredded/grated carrot
-sesame seeds
-cashews
-red peppers
-sprouts
-a little bit of romaine
and of course, topped off with the Asian Sun Drencher

Let me tell you, I was not excited about this salad, but was desperate for something new so decided to try it. Boy I am so glad I did! It was delicious, and what made it was the Asian Sun Drencher. It was amazing!!!!!! One of my favorite dressings ever. And one of the best dressings out there for you, it has 90 calories per 1 1/2 T., compared to the 120 calories per 1 T. olive oil has. And, those 90 calories are good calories! I haven't tried the Italian Drenching yet but will tomorrow and let you know how it is.

So if you have still stuck with me throughout this very long post, and are still reading now, and haven't checked out Sun Drenchers yet, do it now! :) it's very inspiring and you can read all about their "drenchings" and hopefully you can have a chance to try then out!!
