I know some people have been avoiding salad dressing on the protocol and missing it. I wanted to share some protocol-friendly recipes for dressings that my family enjoy:
Yummy Avocado Dressing:
1 Avocado
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice from à ½ lemon or lime
1 large clove garlic, finley diced or pressed
1 or 2 tablespoons water
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Mash or blend the avocados, oil, lemon juice and water together until smooth. Mix in the pressed garlic pulp and salt and pepper to tase. Add additional water for the right consistency if necessary. Refrigate for about an hour to let the flavor permeate into the dressing. Make and enjoy this dressing fresh since avocados do oxidate when kept for long periods in the fridge.
This is a very versatile recipe and you can add many options for different flavors. Finely chopped or blended sun-dried tomatos are a great addition. A bit of dried mustard or chili can add some zing. Or you could try adding finely chooped red onion, parsley or fresh cilantro.
Sesame Dressing:
Juice from 1 lemon
1 to 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup Sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon powdered Stevia (or to your taste since Stevia strength varies by brand)
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
1 clove pressed garlic
Finely chopped fresh basil (optional)
Toasted sesame seeds.
Whisk lemon juice, water and oil together to vinegrette consistency. Add Stevia, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in herbs and whisk. Serve over greens with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top if you like. Keeps nicely for several days in the fridge.
Enjoy having dressing on your salads again!
