After watching your videos this afternoon, I went to my local health food store and purchase some Quinoa pasta and made a spinach salad with your dressing.
Delicious!

Thanks, I have also just watched your video. I think that you have a friendly and realistic approach to nutrition. I look forward to trying the salad dressing. I did hear years ago that here in London,West Indian girls alway drank some cider vinegar for a period of time after giving birth and this had a grass roots reputation of getting them back into shape really quickly. it seems to ba a magic ingredient.

I have made this kind of dressing for years, but I don’t add the oil. Makes it virtually fat free. I use Apple Cider Vinegar or Red Wine vinegar, garlic salt, italian seasoning, lemon juice, and either sweet n low or stevia. My family loves this as well and would rather have this than italian dressing from the store.

ISABEL HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF SAP SUGAR? IT’S THE SAP OF THE COCONUT FLOWER STEM THAT IS JUST DRIED AND LOOKS LIKE BROWN SUGAR. IT CAN BE PURCHASE FROM WILDERNESS FAMILY NATURALS.COM. WOULD THIS ITEM FIT INTO YOUR PROGRAM?
Never use Splenda or artificial sweeteners such as Sweet N Low. Only use Stevia. There are different forms of stevia. Powder, liquid.
Splenda should have skulll and crossbones on it. In test animals it produced swollen livers etc. Go to http://www.mercola.com/2004/jul/14/splenda_marketing.htm #550
Don’t use artificial sweeteners such as splenda and sweet n low. Many problems with them. Only use Stevia.

Truvia sweetner is all natural and made from a
plant. it is the best sweetner to use!
I thank you for the viedo I really liked the part
where you pretended to add the salt that was
so cute and also the info about the applecider
vinegar being good for diabetics. God Bless you
I have made this dressing and it is excellent. I made it with horseradish mustard and lots of fresh ground pepper so it has a definite kick and livens up my salads with salmon, tuna, turkey and chicken. Thanks for this essential idea.

I have been following a program of my own much like yours. I eat nothing white…sugar, rice, bread, etc. Lots of veggies, protein, nuts, olive oil, avacado, and fruit only once a day.
What are your feelings about honey on Greek 0% fat yogurt, and having a glass of red wine with dinner. Is honey considered bad or good sugar?
Honey is okay, as long as it is raw honey. Having a glass of red wine with dinner is okay, in moderation. Your best bet is to get organic red wine, too.

Hi! I do not like the taste of Stevia at all. Can I use Agave nectar instead? Thanks!
This is pretty much how I’ve made my salad dressing for nearly 30 years! Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, FRESH garlic, and usually dijon mustard. I also don’t measure, it’s more about the proportions. I’d never put sugar in my salad dressing, yuk! And I don’t add salt to anything, except fresh tomatoes on toast, hehehe!

Thank you so much for all your valuable information! I’ve slowly learned some of the truths you teach over the years, but have never found such a complete resource of all this good information in one place before. It reinforces everything I’ve learned and provides so much more! Thank you. I also make a salad dressing with ACV and Olive oil, only I use Herbamare taht I buy at the health food store instead of salt to season.

I have a beautiful Aunt Loiuse who in her 70′s is still a looker. I’ve watched her cook for years and her salads are simple & delicious. Very similar to your dressing, she puts her veggies in a bowl and pours a little EV Olive oil, squeezes a lemon and sprinkles fresh herbs then tosses. That’s it and it’s great! Adding a little apple-cider vinegar wouldn’t hurt, I’m sure.
Suzanne, organic balsamic vinegar is fine. I just wouldn’t use too much because there is sugar in it.

If you really want to up your Omega 3 and hate olive oil, you can make the salad dressing with flax seed oil (organic, cold pressed, always refrigerated) instead. It’s a moderately aggressive nutty taste, but SO SO SO good for you! Only make what you will use THAT meal though. The most nutritious oils need to be protected from oxidation, so make it fresh and keep the flax seed oil bottle sealed and refrigerated at all times when not in use. As for organic balsamic Suzanne, you’ll find that a SMALL amount added to mostly apple cider vinegar dressing will give you that wonderful taste without increasing the negative effects of the added sugars! If you want things sweeter, add a packet of stevia, xylitol, or erythritol instead. See which one you like best. I often use a combination to get the best flavor from the sweetening options available! Keep eating healthy and clean!
I make a version of your salad dressing with fresh garlic, but I let it sit for at least 1 hour at room temp before I use it.
Delicious!

FYI: Apple Cider Vinegar is also god for taking the heat out of a sunburn. Just spread it on. Leave for 15 mins or so and shower off. It somehow stops the continuous “cooking” that causes blisters and peeling. Of course, it is better NOT to burn, but being in Florida we see the poor visitors burn all the time.
I never heard the other good things it is used for. Thank you!

My own favorite (and I don’t know the proportions) is to combine fresh lemon juice, sesame oil and Braggs Aminos. Approx 1 tsp of the oil and 1 tsp Braggs and as much lemon juice as you like for a personal size salad. It’s delicious and fresh. I don’t store it. I make right over the salad each time I eat.

I make a similar dressing with the following changes. I add some lemon juice, onions, and delete the salt. The mustard has salt in it.
If you want fewer calories, add more vinegar and use less olive oil.

Kori- if you live anywhere that has a Trader Joe’s nearby, they make a popcorn called “Trader Joe’s Organic Popcorn with Olive Oil” The ingredients listed are simply: organic popcorn, organic extra version olive oil, sea salt.
Much better than your canola oil version yet still conveniently pre-packaged so you don’t have to air pop your own.
Isabel, I make a version of your dressing with fresh garlic and black pepper in addition to the ingredients you stated. It is wonderful!!
Thank you for sharing your famous salad dressing recipe.
can you substitute non processed honey for sugar
sounds great will try this
Please email me your salad dreessing receipe, as the computer @ the library has no sound to hear what you’re saying. Thanks so much
Could you give us some measurements. I’m hard of hearing and couldn’t get what the ingredients were or the amounts you use. Thanks
I need a sweetener in my dressing. Is Stevia good for that? What other sweeteners are allowable? Honey? Molasses?
Stevia or organic raw honey would be fine.

Kori, I took a look at your popcorn, and while most of it looks good, the fact that it contains canola oil is why it would not be DSP-approved.
Loved your candor! Been eating on the diet solution plan (pretty closely) for about 5 weeks and feel great
.
