The original recipe for this came from Dr. Joel Fuhrmans book Eat to Live: The Revolutionary formula for fast and Sustained Weight Loss. I like the orange flavor slightly stronger so I mix my own "orange juice" from concentrate at a different ratio than is suggested on the can. Also, I prefer to end up with a larger quantity of the dressing to keep in the fridge for later, so I have multiplied the recipe by four. Look for the raw cashews and the unhulled sesame seeds in bulk at local health food stores such as Whole Foods. Stock up a bit so that you can make this recipe when ever you want.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup unhulled sesame seeds
3/4 cup orange juice concentrate (not diluted)
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for 3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently. In a blender or Vita-Mix, combine 1/2 cup sesame seeds, the cashews, orange juice concentrate, water and vinegar.
Three simple salads to eat with this delicious dressing:
Orange Romaine Salad: chopped romaine, thinly sliced red onion, and diced oranges.
Tangerines are a nice substitute for the oranges.
Spinach and Mushroom Salad: self explanatory...again, add thinly sliced red onion
Spring Mix Lettuce, Tomatoes and cucumbers: I would add thinly sliced red onion to practically any vegetable salad.
Mom, you are so cool. I will try to teach the Chileans your ways.
