Miso Salad Dressing

Many of my salad dressings have ingredients that stimulate the immune system, heal the gut and improve digestion. I like to use apple cider vinegar, garlic and raw honey for these purposes. Another very healthy ingredient to use in dressings is miso. Miso is a fermented soy product and is shown to be high in antioxidants and polyphenols. It has been shown to be beneficial for cardiovascular health. It is known as an anti-aging food, good for the skin and digestion as long as it's not pasteurized. It has also been shown to reduce hot flashes. An easy way to consume it ins in salad dressing.

The following recipe is from www.great-easter-sun.com

Yield: Approximately 1/2 - 3/4 cups

Ingredients:

1 TBS Miso Master Organic Red Miso

4 TBS tahini (sesame paste)

1 - 2 TBS lemon juice

4 TBS water

1 TBS minced scallion

Directions:

To prepare this quick, versatile dressing, combine with miso and mix until smooth. Add lemon juice, and water, again mixing until smooth. Add scallion and serve this delicious salad dressing.

Creamy Green Goddess Dressing

This recipe is Phase 1 friendly for the Fungus Link diet. It is vegan, gluten free and super healthy! I was feeling bored today, with my food choices, so I decided to kick up my salad a notch with some new dressing. Wow, you will love this! I adapted this from one posted by Kris Carr on her Facebook page.

1 ripe avocado, peeled and seeded

1/8 cup chia gel (to obtain gel, soak 2 TBS chia seeds in water for at least 30 minutes. You can even soak them all day! Then take 1/8 cup of the liquid gel that is formed and use it in the
dressing).

¼ cup tahini

2 tsp coconut aminos for Phase 1 or gluten free soy sauce or Nama Shoyu if not on Phase 1

1/8 tsp pure stevia powder

2 cloves garlic

½ tsp cumin powder

½ tsp salt

Dash of cayenne pepper

2 TBS apple cider vinegar

3 TBS Olive oil

1/3 cup water

Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until completely smooth.
