I’d like to share some very tasty and

super healthy six delicious salad

dressings that will supercharge your

health now what prompted me to do this

video is a while ago I went to this

event where a five-star Chef cooked for

us and we were participating in the

cooking and so I was in charge of making

the salad dressing and so I asked them

all okay what do I do he says uh just go

ahead and wing it there’s some spices

over there go ahead and make it I’m sure

it’ll be fine I don’t have a lot of

experience in this topic I usually just

use two ingredients olive oil and

balsamic vinaigrette so I started to put

a bunch of things together and then he

came by and tasted it and he just looked

at me like what the hell did you do and

I said uh I don’t know I just threw some

things together he goes Eric it’s

obvious it’s obvious to make this as I

said no it’s not obvious to make

something taste good you have to have

the combination of certain herbs and

things for us it could be a design

faster problem salad dressings is trying

to find one that is edible that doesn’t

have all these high omega-6 fatty acids

I mean it’s really hard to find

something just with pure olive oil even

the ones with olive oil have additional

oils so the benefit of adding olive oil

to your salad is this a lot of the

phytonutrients in salad like these very

important Health promoting chemicals in

Plants especially salad

go Way Beyond just vitamins and minerals

the phytonutrients or the phytochemicals

in salad are fat soluble which means we

need to eat them with some type of fat

or oil and I’m going to recommend use a

high quality extra virgin olive oil so

these six salad dressings that I’m going

to talk about uh will add some

additional health benefits that go Way

Beyond just the salad itself now of

course salad is loaded with potassium

magnesium folate vitamin C as well as

all these phytonutrients but the salad

dressing itself can really take it to

the next level so these salad dressings

that I’m going to recommend are all

wrapped around this base of extra virgin

olive oil

lemon juice and apple cider vinegar and

then what you do is you put this mixture

this base in a 16

ounce mason jar in your fridge so every

time you eat a salad you take out this

mixture and in a little bowl you take

about a fourth of a cup or you know up

to a half of a cup depending on how big

your salad is and you add your spices

mix it up and pour it on your salad so

let’s first talk about this base that

you’re going to make okay this is these

three ingredients what are the ratios it

comes out to a third of a cup of extra

virgin olive oil

a fourth of a cup of apple cider vinegar

and two tablespoons of lemon juice so

let’s first talk about the first uh

combination this could be called the

apple cider vinaigrette you’re going to

add one tablespoon of mustard some

people use Dijon you’ll take one clove

of garlic minced a pinch of sea salt and

a dash of pepper mix it up pour it on

your salad all right so the next

combination is the French style dressing

we’re going to add one teaspoon of dried

tarragon half a teaspoon of dried thyme

a fourth of a teaspoon of dried lavender

and a pinch of ground pepper very

delicious another one to try is the

Italian version for this one we’re going

to use one teaspoon of dried oregano

half a teaspoon of dried basil a fourth

of a teaspoon of crushed garlic and just

a little pinch of crushed red pepper so

I really like that combination very

delicious all right next one a

Mediterranean with this one you’re going

to use one teaspoon of dried rosemary

half a teaspoon of dried mint a fourth

of a teaspoon of sumac with just one

little pinch of sea salt all right just

to keep things interesting let’s give

you two more uh this one is the Asian

version for this one you’re going to add

to the base one teaspoon of toasted

sesame seeds one half of a teaspoon of

dried Ginger 1 4 of a teaspoon of

crushed peppercorn and a splash of

tamari and let’s not forget the Indian

version okay for my friends in India for

this one we’re going to add to the base

one teaspoon of ground coriander one

half teaspoon of ground turmeric 1 4 of

a teaspoon of ground cinnamon with a

pinch of dried cardamom so I think these

six recipes will keep things very

interesting for you it’ll actually keep

the variety there if you have not seen

my video on the quantity of salad that a

person should be consuming which is 7-10

cups you really need to watch this one
