Natural and Organic Beauty Recipes

Today's recipe isn't a food recipe, but anyone concerned with eating raw for overall health can certainly appreciate the fact that some ingredients in cosmetics are allergenic, or worse, carcinogenic.

Are you lathering up your body with cancer-causing ingredients? You don't need to! There are homemade alternatives, or at least, safer commercial alternatives available.

Raw Food Salad Dressing

I've been working on perfecting a raw food salad dressing that my kids will love. I created something that looks a little like Dorthy Lynch. I'm still amazed that it is RAW. It is so yummy. I am tweaking the sweetness to make sure my kids love it every bit as much as the bottled dressing. If I were making it for me, I would add more onions and spices, but I am catering to an 8 and 9 year old so it will be a kid pleaser.

This is the raw food "french" dressing as of today, ·   

• 2 medium tomatoes (approximately 1 ½ cups)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• 1/8 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup raw honey
