It’s easier to add more raw foods into our daily diets than a lot of people think.

How?  Substitute unprocessed ingredients for the processed ones and voilá! You’ve got something RAW.

Here’s a quick and simple example of how I re-created a favorite Japanese Sesame Dressing.

Puree together:

2 tbspns Nama Shoyu (unpasteurized soy sauce instead of regular)
2 tbspns raw apple cider vinegar (instead of rice vinegar)
2 tbspons raw local honey (instead of white granulated sugar)
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds (instead of toasted)
1/4 cup raw tahini (instead of peanut butter or roasted tahini)
1/4 cup water (instead of stock)

Enjoy your truly raw and unprocessed spring salad greens and/or microgreens (the latter from City Roots)!

That’s easy, isn’t it?
