Easy Lime Agave Salad Dressing

Here's a simple way to make a simple and healthy homemade dairy-free and vegan salad dressing from lime zest, lime juice, olive oil and a little agave nectar (also called agave syrup) as a natural sweetener. This agave nectar salad dressing is a healthy homemade alternative to store-bought salad dressings. 

Beyond just salads, I use salad dressings in a number of different ways, so I try to always keep some on hand. Salad dressings are great in a pinch for adding to steamed fresh vegetables, adding to any leftover quinoa, (or to make a quick quinoa salad or bean salad, too), or, use this lime-based agave salad dressing to make a simple rice salad or something or other sooner or later.

All of the ingredients are vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free, and, if you use cold-pressed oil and a completely raw agave syrup (read the label to check and see), it is suitable for anyone on a raw vegan food diet as well. If you want to swap out the agave nectar for honey, you may, though the recipe will not technically be vegan any longer, since most vegans avoid honey.
