The more fresh leafy greens you can add to your life, the more vitality you'll have. Eating big salads with small amounts of quality protein are our go-to meals the majority of the time.
Prepare this dressing ahead of time and it will remain for a couple of weeks. Once you eat your own dressing, bottled dressing (which is full of crap chemicals) will never satisfy you again. So beware of the deliciousness ahead: BASIC VINAIGRETTE (WITH BLING OPTIONS) Ingredients: 1 cup organic avocado oil (Costco sells the Chosen Foods brand, and it's excellent) 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (local with the mother included is best) 1/8th tsp balsamic vinegar (barrel-aged to a syrupy sweetness is best) 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp high quality sea salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper 1 clove fresh garlic 1 shallot chopped fine 1-2 tbsp dried herb Shake well before serving Directions: Mash the Dijon, salt, and garlic together. Drizzle in the oil and whisk briskly. Add the shallots, pepper and herbs and whisk lightly. Add the vinegars and whisk again. Pour on salad and toss well to evenly coat the leaves. Alternatives and Bling: You can use a light olive oil instead of avocado You can use apple cider vinegar instead of red wine The herbs I recommend are either savory or marjoram. I don't mix the two, I pick one or the other. If you want to use fresh herbs, Lemon Thyme is delicious. You can double this recipe and keep it in a big jar in the fridge for a couple weeks. The other way I get a lot of greens into my body - 8-10 servings of vegetables a day - is to drink a green juice every day I possibly can. My friend Drew Canole has recently come out with Green Drink. It's a powder you mix with water. It tastes great and it's full of phytonutrients. If you don't want the hassle of buying, washing, juicing and cleaning up to make your own fresh juice, at least try one Green Drink while you're on the go each day. Drew has individual serving packets and he's given me a special link for you to try it for free. Green Drink <=== Free Trial (You pay $7.99 for US shipping, $9.99 for international shipping.)
