I like to share some very tasty and super healthy 6 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 5 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 him , well , okay , What do I do ?
He says , 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 2 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 , I don't know .
I just , threw some things together .
He goes , Eric , it's obvious .
It's obvious to make this .
I said , no , it's not obvious .
To make something taste good , you have to have the combination of certain herbs and things or else it could be a disaster .
The problem with 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 gonna recommend use a high quality extra virgin olive oil .
So these 6 salad dressings that I'm gonna talk about , 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 gonna 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 4th of a cup or , you know , up to a half of a cup depending on how big your salad is .
Then you add your spices , mix it up , and pour it on your salad .
So let's first talk about this base that you're gonna 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 2 tablespoons of lemon juice .
So let's first talk about the first , combination .
This could be called the apple cider vinaigrette .
You're gonna add 1 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 .
Alright .
So the next combination is the French style dressing .
We're gonna add 1 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 gonna use 1 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 .
Alright .
Next one , a Mediterranean .
With this one , you're gonna use 1 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 .
Alright .
Just to keep things interesting , let's give you 2 more .
This one is the Asian version .
For this one , you're gonna add to the base one teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds , one half of a teaspoon of dried ginger , 1 fourth 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 gonna add to the base 1 teaspoon of ground coriander , 1 half teaspoon of ground turmeric , 1 fourth of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon with a pinch of dried cardamom .
So I think these 6 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 to 10 cups , you really need to watch this one right here .
