Many of the very delicious raw vegan salad dressings are made out of nuts and like it is often the case with food, all those mind-blowing recipes usually involve the more expensive ingredients. As a traveler my budget is something I watch very closely and although I like to indulge in the really good stuff when it comes to food, this is not something I need every day.

Sooo, here is a very simple and budget-friendly dressing recipe, that you can easily adapt to your taste buds with any herbs and spices that make your dinner salad to a winning combo.

1 cup sunflower seeds
1 red onion 1 garlic clove
1/2 thumb ginger
2 tsp turmeric powder
Juice of 1 lemon
1-2 cups water
1 bunch of spring onion

Sunflower seeds are available pretty much anywhere around the world and in my experience they are a very affordable ingredient. If you include nuts and seeds into your salad, let it be in a salad dressing like this or as a topping, chances are higher that you don’t grab for some fatty snacks as a dessert since it makes your meal much more satisfying and fulfilling.

I just threw everything into my blender and waited for the mixture to turn bright yellow and creamy. I then coupled this bowl of sunshine with a colorful salad mixture and ready was my raw vegan dinner.

What meal would you coat with this tasty sunflower seed dressing?
