Recipe of the Day: Paleo Salad Dressings

These dressings are part of my Paleo Detox Diet, but they are very tasty and can be used for lots of different salad recipes! The Carrot Ginger Dressing pairs very well with cashews or almonds, spinach, avocado, red onions, and chicken. The Cilantro Lime Dressing tastes good with romaine, cucumbers, mangoes, jalepenos, red peppers, and fish.
