Gluten-Free Vegan Raw Watermelon Vinaigrette
Here's why this recipe works - my top 3 reasons:
- Can be made in a Vitamix or regular blender
- Ready in about 5 minutes
- Made with only 5 clean, real food ingredients
Can Be Made In A Vitamix Or Regular Blender
I use my Vitamix exclusively to make dressings, soups, smoothies and so much more because it yields the creamiest and smoothest texture.
But not to worry if you don't have a Vitamix.
Since this recipe doesn't have nuts or other hard-to-blend ingredients you can make it in a regular blender too!
Ready In About 5 Minutes
You can have this raw salad dressing ready and drizzled over your favorite salad in about 5 minutes.
Simply add all the ingredients to your blender, blend it up and it's ready to go!
Made With Only 5 Clean, Real Food Ingredients
You'll love how this recipe is made with only 5 clean, real food ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
For example, watermelon, dates, avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, and Himalayan pink salt.
My healthy plant-based dressing is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, paleo-friendly and contains no refined sugar!
Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Watermelon Vinaigrette
Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Medjool Dates. Can be substituted with your favorite liquid sweeteners like maple syrup, date nectar or coconut nectar in the same amount.
Avocado Oil. This can be substituted with organic extra-virgin olive oil.
Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference, however, you can always substitute with sea salt.

Hi there Alicia! There should be a bar of social network sharing tags at the very top of the post, right above the first photo with the "Pinterest" button on there...it should be the red one.
I'll go ahead and add it to my "dressings" board on Pinterest too in case you have trouble with the sharing tags.
Thanks so much for letting me know and I hope you enjoy it 😉
