1. Start making your own salad dressing. There are way too many yucky ingredients in prepared salad dressings, including high fructose corn syrup. Here's a recipe for a basic basalmic vinegrette that I make all the time.
2. Stop drinking sodas and diet sodas. Instead, drink herbal tea or water.
3. Eat more fat, use real butter (Kerrygold is grass-fed butter which you can find at most supermarkets) and be careful which oils you use. Avoid modern vegetable oils like corn oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil and canola oil. Instead use coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil.
Bottled salad dressing is not your best choice and can be one of the most suprisingly unhealthy things you can put in your body. Most contain high fructose corn syrup and canola oil and TONS of preservatives. It's very easy to make your own. This vinaigrette is delicious and so simple to make. It keeps for about a week in your fridge too!
Makes 16 servings.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Beat the vinegar in a bowl with the garlic, salt and pepper with a whisk until blended. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, whisking constantly. (You can also put all ingredients in a screw top jar and shake to combine.) Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Makes about 1 cup.
