How to make your own salad dressing, by Bethany…
If you’re looking to be healthier, salads are a great place to start because you can put just about anything in them to make them delicious. But having a yummy salad dressing makes them that much more approachable and exciting.
A lot of the store bought dressings have sugar, really unhealthy oils, things that you should not even be putting in your body (saturated fats, excess sodium, chemicals, etc), especially on a salad! Salad is supposed to be healthy.
ESSENTIALS:
- Herb – I’m gonna put parsley. You can use what you have or like. I always put an herb in because herbs are great for you and they make them delicious.
- Two different kinds of oils – Depending on what I have. Right now I have Flax Oil, so I’ll do a solid couple of squirts of that. And Olive Oil, which tastes so good.
- Lecithin Powder – It helps thicken the dressing and is really great for burning fat, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, cardiovascular health, nerve function, brain function and memory. To me that sounds great!
- Roasted peppers – You can buy them pre-roasted or roast them yourself.
- Sea Salt
- Something Sweet – These Sun Dried Tomatoes are a bit sweet. Sometimes I’ll even put a Date or a Fig.
- Tahini – I’m using Sesame Tahini. You could also sub in Pine Nuts or some other kind of seeds.
- Acid – In this case, I’m gonna use Lime, cause that’s what we have laying around. But you could also do Orange, Lemon, or an Apple Cider Vinegar.
- Garlic – An essential to me! At least one clove.
- Water
Blend and voila! Cheers to salad and being healthy!
