CREAMY LEMON AND CUMIN DRESSING





Since I could see this dressing with so many other salads, I gave it it's own blog.  It is so refreshing! The cumin flavor is very mild, so this is not a spicy dressing.  Rather it is tangy from the lemons, and also revitalizing. Quite perfect for the summer!

Using fresh squeezed lemon juice makes such a difference in the taste of dressing. It is really worth the effort. Plus lemons are so good for you! They are super alkaline and therefore balance the PH level of or body, they aid digestion, dental care, and weight loss. They act as blood purifiers ,they control high blood pressure,and they can also help purify the liver. That's just to name a few of the benefits!

Since this is all made in a blender, it only takes a few minutes to prepare, So let's say goodbye to store bought dressing.
