Ever since I was a kid I have loved salads. I remember eating massive amounts of salads as a kid. I loved them.
I am probably the only person that remembers eating every vegetable in our house all the time. No vegetable was safe with me around.
When I found out I could prevent heart disease by avoiding animal products I didn't even need a second to think about it.
I stopped right there. While everyone was eating turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy I was eating a salad.
The problem with salads is the dressings today are so fattening and loaded with salt and sugar.
One container of ranch has over 8,000 miligrams of salt and 288 grams of fat. That is the same amount of fat as would be found in 738 baked potatoes.
Try this dressing on a salad and make sure you have a good calorie source with that salad. I like to use beans or brown rice.
Honey Mustard Dressing
1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar, lime, or lemon
1 tablespoon liquid amino
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dairy free honey mustard
Seasoning (any herbs you want in it)
Whip this up till it is nice and creamy. Then pour it on a HUGE salad and mix it up really good. Healthy nuts like pecans and walnuts really bring out the flavor of this dressing in a salad.
Pecan have 18 vitamins and minerals in them so they are a great addition to a salad. Brown rice has over 70 different antioxidants in it so that is a great source of calories.
This dressing will make you fall in love with vegetables for the first time, or if you are like me for the thousdanth time. It will also make it so you can eat a guilt free meal that is incredible tasting.
