veg in the southwest

This recipe is based on a recipe created by vegan chef Jerri Hastey (Jessica Chastain's mom). I saw it in a magazine (can't remember which one), made a couple of tweaks to suit my tastes, and BAM. This is good. Careful - it's addictive!

This is a lovely, thick, flavorful dressing that doesn't use much oil. The avocado thickens it while the citrus juices, cilantro, and jalapeno add plenty of flavor. This recipe was inspired by a recipe in the Raw Food, Real World book - with a few minor adjustments!

This recipe was inspired by The Vegan 8's  Oat-Free Spicy Barbecue Lentil Loaf . I made a few minor changes to make it more like the traditional "meatloaf" I knew growing up - and I have to say, this is DELISH! Very flavorful and filling - it will satisfy veggies and omnis alike, I promise!
