Apple Fantasia Dressing

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Salute Sante Grapeseed Oil Plain
2 Apples (2 Cups), peeled and chopped
1 Lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp. Agave Nectar
NOTE: I usually add 1 Tbsp. sweetener for each lemon juiced. If using very sweet apples, you may not need the sweetener or you may need to add juice of another lemon. Depends on your taste.

Blend all ingredients in Vita Mix blender taking it to liquify until smooth and creamy, or on high with other mixers.

VARIATIONS:
1. You can add some fresh chopped dill just before serving.
2. You can add 1/4 tsp. caraway seed when blending.
3. You can add about ½ inch piece of peeled ginger when blending. Also, add 3 cups of apples to this instead of 2 cups.
4. You can add 1 cup of steamed watercress when blending.

3 Tbsp. Agave
1 Drop Marjoram Essential Oil - this is sweet marjoram(marjorona hortensis), optional

1. Overnight soak the golden flaxseed and pumpkin seeds in water with lemongrass essential oil. Or, use only the golden flaxseed and omit the pumpkin seed.

2. Combine lime juice, Agave, marjoram essential oil, and the soaked golden flaxseed with or without pumpkin seed together and blend in Vita Mix. With the blender still running, slowly drizzle the grapeseed oil into this mixture. Then blend on high until mixture is light colored and creamy.
