Salad Dressing

March 30, 2006

Thank you for the info. Yes, I had read that about the potatoes- I cut them

out of my diet immediately. I feel so much better. I got into some hidden

avoids yesterday, and am paying for it today. Wow! I will pay better

attention in the future.

And you can sure tell when they start going away, and the swelling you are aware

of leaves. Was that ever a relief.

I am ABSOLUTELY addicted to salads now! I only use olive oil, fresh

lemon and sea salt - sometimes cracked black pepper. I live in the

middle east and it's very cheap to get Arugula here (I know it's

expensive in the states) and so that is the only lettuce I use -

it's also the greenest and best for you. I put a ton of that in a

big bowl and add fresh cherry tomatoes and avacoado. Then I usually

use about a 1/3 of a fresh lemon(big and juicy one) and then about 1-

2 tsp.s of olive oil. mix it thoroughly. It's awesome and I eat

them like crazy! Just get the right mix and you will love it. If

the dressing is not tasting that good it's probably because you have

too much lemon and not enough salt.

Good luck - a

fresh garlic? I usually just put plain olive oil on. We're going

Vinegar Dressing just for a change.

I normally make a very large salad - 3 or 4 tomatoes, half a cucumber, a

packet of lettuce (mixed), 1 or two avocados. For the salad dressing I

use about 3 - 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and half the juice

of a large lemon. Sometimes I add 1 - 2 tablespoons of organic avocado

oil (yummy in a salad) and reduce the olive oil accordingly. I always

chop up 4 - 5 whole garlic cloves and throw them in the salad - fresh

garlic has done wonders for our health.

The ratio should be about 30 - 40% olive oil to 60 - 70% lemon juice.

Of course, you can play around with it and see what you prefer, I like

to taste the lemon juice. Of course you also need enough salt - we use

sea salt only.

Hope that helps.

Hi Keen!

How much olive oil and lemon juice do you use? Have tried making that

combo in the past, but it didn't taste right. Do you ever add fresh

garlic? I usually just put plain olive oil on. We're going to look for

the one suggested Annie's Lemon and Chive, No Vinegar Dressing

just for a change.

You shouldn't be eating pre-prepared salad dressings. You should

rather

make your own dressing from olive oil and lemon juice. It's much

healthier and much tastier and you know what you are eating at least.
