Hey, if you are craving more salads and veggies this time of year, I’m with you.
Actually, I’ve been eating much more plant-based these days.
What does “plant-based” really mean?
Well, of course, lots of veggies, more fruit, nuts and seeds, and so much more…
I’ll talk more about this next time.
For today…
If you want a uniquely delicious, yummy, and off-the-charts healthy salad dressing, try the one below.
BTW, I got the recipe from the interesting Dr. Michael Greger’s blog.
Hint: If you google Dr. Michael Greger you’ll see where I’m going with my diet these days.
For now, I pasted the basics for you below.
Enjoy!
