Dressing up for Meals!
This week we are looking at dressing up your salads and veggies. In the past few weeks
several clients have asked me about salad dressing options. In your average supermarket,
there are easily 50 salad dressing options and most have poor quality ingredients like soy
oil, canola oil, sugar, MSG, preservatives and artificial flavors. The challenge comes when
you are eating a healthy fresh salad and then adding these processed poor quality dressings.
The fix for this is to make your own salad dressing. Here’s the simple formula: Step 1. Oil
like extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, flax oil are all good choices as a base. Step 2. Acid like
apple cider, balsamic, wine vinegar or lemon juice can be used in a 3:1 ratio, oil to acid. Step
3. Add flavor with: mustard, GF soy or coconut aminos, raw honey in small amounts, salt,
pepper, garlic and herbs to taste. You can create a simple dressing in a couple of minutes
and add healthy calories to your healthy salads.
Simply Easy Tip: Add salad dressing on top of steamed veggies as a quick way to “dress”
them up and add flavor.
Simply Supportive: Healthy fats like OMEGA 3 fats are naturally
anti-inflammatory. They are found in cold water fish and some
nuts and seeds. Most of us need more support on a daily basis
then what get through our food. Omegavail TG 1000 provides 1
gram of omega-3 fats with added enzymes to help you absorb it
better.To order this professional grade nutritional supplement, you
