As you work to swap those industrial seed oils for more nutritious natural fats, I want to give you a couple tips on salad dressings.
Sometimes even the organic salad dressings will use an “organic” canola oil - which is still an inflammatory oil, even if it’s “organic”.
Here is a simple and easy salad dressing you can whip up at home in a matter of minutes and tastes amazing! I’ve even used this salad dressing as a marinade for meats before grilling them.
SIMPLE AND FRESH SALAD DRESSING
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sea salt
1-2 freshly minced cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon tarragon or marjoram ( you can substitute your favorite herb)
Wisk all ingredients together. Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving so that the fresh garlic and herbs can distribute their flavors throughout the dressing.
You can swap out the acid in this dressing with any vinegar of your choice like red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. The same goes for the oil: I sometimes use walnut oil (wonderful healthy fat to use) or avocado oil.
If you prefer to purchase your salad dressings, one of my favorite brands is Primal Kitchen. They have delicious salad dressings as well as a wonderful avocado oil based mayonnaise. https://www.primalkitchen.com/
Swapping your industrial seed oils (canola, vegetable, corn, crisco) with quality ingredients (avocado, olive, ghee, real butter, lard) can help remove inflammation and improve your health.
