BLACKBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPYSEED DRESSING

Fresh blackberries in season are not only great tasting, but are also a powerhouse of nutrition. They are very high in fiber and have one of the highest antioxidant contents of any food tested. They also contain specific phytonutrients that have been shown to protect the brain from oxidative stress and help reduce the effects of age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Blackberries also aid in the fight against cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, such as colon cancer. The creamy poppyseed dressing will become a favorite on any salad, but works very well with the sweetness of the berries.

DAIRY-FREE SOUR CREAM

Sour Cream is great topping on many dishes, but not so good for those trying to avoid dairy. There are two sour cream recipes below and both are creamy, rich and tangy – just like sour cream. While they don’t taste exactly like dairy sour cream, they certainly are close and a very tasty alternative. Once added to your food, you will barely notice the difference. The cashew-based recipe is creamier and very neutral in flavor, while the coconut cream-based recipe does have a mild coconut flavor. Both are good.

FAT-BURNING SALAD DRESSING

One of our most requested recipes is for salad dressing. It is one of the hardest things to purchase off of the grocery store shelves, as they are so full of inflammatory fats like soybean, canola or cottonseed vegetable oils. Their heavy content of Omega-6 fatty acids sets us up for a lot of trouble, including weight gain. This recipe includes the ultimate fat-burner – MCT oil. If you don’t have any on hand, you can always use more olive oil. More options are given for different flavors, too. Primal Kitchen is a newer product on the shelves that is made with healthy avocado oil and is Genesis Health Solutions plan-approved, but there’s nothing like creamy homemade dressing with fresh herbs.
