Simple Salad Dressing

Posted in Food, Healthy Ideas, Recipes at 9:40 am by Debra

I’ve been enjoying this simple salad dressing on my lunchtime salads. It is so easy to whip up your own salad dressing with no additives or bad vinegars and oils. And this is a very easy dressing to vary, too. Oh, and some healthy facts — cider vinegar is the only one that will help your body become more alkaline, it is a very healthy vinegar and some people even drink it daily for their digestion. I use the EV olive b/c I like the taste and it is a good oil, flax would be good too and impart a slightly nutty flavor.

~ equal parts cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil
~ dijon mustard to taste

Whisk and serve!

Some variations you can do are:
~ add onion powder and ground cayenne to give it a kick and make it liver-cleansing.
~ add fresh chopped herbs like basil, thyme or sage.
~ chopped fresh cilantro will help detoxify the body of heavy metals.
~ chives, shallots, scallions give a subtle onion taste.
~ pureed raspberries makes a yummy, fruity dressing.
