SALAD DRESSINGS.
A basic concept behind choosing a particular salad dressing in this live-food approach is to use a dressing to balance the salad according to one's dosha and other body needs. For example, adding a masala affects the heating or cooling properties of the food. The choice of the masala adjusts the energy of the total meal to one's doshas and the season of the year. The seeds and nuts add considerable building protein and oil to the salad. Walnuts add more omega-3 fatty acids.
In this approach to live foods, the addition of a seed dressing transforms a salad into a total balanced meal, which particularly balances vata. When one becomes well-established in live-food cuisine, this type of tasty seed-dressing salad becomes a filling meal in itself that simultaneously helps to meet one's minimum protein, fat, and complex carbohydrate needs, as well as biogenic needs. If I am not using a seed salad dressing, then I will often add some soaked nuts or seeds, such as walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds, to the salad. If eaten in moderation, soaked seeds and nuts neutralize the potential unbalancing effects on any of the doshas that unsoaked seeds and nuts have. Flaxseeds are not well-absorbed unless they are soaked and blended. Powdering the dry nuts or seeds in a spice mill helps a.s.similation.
The seed salad dressings can also be used as soups or even dips by varying the thickness. These dressings can even be thought of as whole meals in themselves.
