My new favorite salad dressing.

So.....I ran out of oil and I was trying to think of something else I could use for our salad tonight! Then it dawned on me that I have 20lbs of apples! This is so yummy. Double yummy.

Oil-free Apple Basil Dressing

1 large Gala apple should equal approx. 2c of liquid ( or you could use apple juice)
1/4c coconut vinegar
1/4c apple cider vinegar (or just 1/2c apple cider vinegar)
4-5 fresh basil leaves (or 1tsp dried basil)
i clove garlic (or 1/2 tsp. dried garlic)
1/2 tsp. Redmond's Real Salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 packets of stevia

Put all in your blender and enjoy! We are serving ours over a spinach, red cabbage, jalapeno salad. Yum-O!
