Tangy, herbaceous salad dressing never tasted so good. It's lectin free, so eat up.
Salad dressing makes or breaks a salad. Sometimes you can have the best salad ingredients, but the whole thing falls flat with a dull dressing. This Lectin Free Gourmet Italian vinaigrette puts the finishing pizzazz on your salad masterpieces. Read on for the recipe.
Do you ever make homemade salad dressing and then wonder why it doesn't taste great? Did you add salt? Many vinegar and oil based dressings would be so much better with a healthy dash of salt. Salt is one of those essential nutrients (yes nutrients) we can't live without.
Our bodies need salt to maintain a balance of body fluids and keep muscles and nerves running smoothly. And, believe it or not, salt is an essential electrolyte that when added to distilled water keeps our bodies perfectly hydrated after a sweaty workout. Yes, we lose salt and need to replace it after we sweat. Makes sense right?
So, don't underestimate the power of salt. It makes your body run smoothly and it makes salad dressings taste amazing.
Often I'm in a hurry or just exhausted after a long day at the Lectin Free Gourmet kitchen fulfilling orders. So a simple salad is all I want. I like a bed of greens, radishes, carrots and red onion. Tossed in this dressing with a little Parmigianno-Reggiano and it's a meal.
Let's make this vinaigrette.
