Dressings, sauces, toppings, vinaigrettes. Whichever one is called for depending on the meal I am preparing, I’m obsessed with finding new and complimenting tastes in the form of liquid inclusions. Now, this one is very, very complicated, so I’m going to walk you through it slowly so don’t screw it up!
Blood Orange Dressing (raw, vegan, gluten and soy free)
1 blood orange freshly squeezed or juiced
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Mix the two in small bowl or jar, then let sit for about 20 minutes while the chia seeds plump.
That’s it! Ha! Blood oranges are so sweet and zesty, and are ripe and ready to go here in Australia. I often enjoy the inclusion of sweetness in my savory main meals, and mixed with the chia seeds, the dressing is a little thicker and full of texture and crunch. Depending on your dish, change the fruit if you like: you could make pear, apple, lemon or even celery dressing. Simple, quick, tasty! I spooned my blood orange version over my lentil.oat.cumin patties the other night, alongside a crisp basil.pear salad. A nutrient dense, inexpensive, innovative meal. Enjoy!
