A salad without dressing is almost unthinkable. But often your healthy bowl of greens is not well served by commercial dressings filled with unhealthy ingredients such as white sugar, white vinegar, poor quality refined oils and a load of preservatives and flavour enhancers. With your next salad, try one of my 3 super healthy dressings that are packed with health benefits.

1/4 cup organic fresh squeezed orange juice

World’s Healthiest Caesar Dressing
This is truly a heart-saving salad dressing. The fish oil goes well with the anchovies in this garlicky medley. The celery gives the dressing bulk and allows you to move away from using raw egg.
1/8 cup fish oil, lemon flavoured
1/2 cup organic olive oil
2 cloves garlic (pressed)
1 celery stalk, chopped fine
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp wheat-free tamari
3 anchovy fillets
1 date (or 1 tsp of honey)
Using a blender, whip all the dressing ingredients together.
