Salad Dressing
Hi Ross,
I’ve been reading things over and I’m starving right now. Thought I would go ahead and have a salad even though technically it’s still breakfast time. So I have fresh spinach and red bell pepper but what is best for a salad dressing. I usually have balsamic and olive oil.
Ross’ Answer
Dressings can be your secret to loving salads, at any time of day. Admittedly, I might stray from 100% alkaline to 80% alkaline with my dressings at that time of day…
Here are some suggestions:
– fresh squeezed orange juice (1/4 orange per serve) and drizzle of olive oil
– same but with lemon (this is more alkaline)
– lemon, crushed garlic, mustard (a little) and olive oil (mixed together)
– olive oil, lemon juice and pomegranate
– surprisingly, stirring hummous through a salad makes a great thick and creamy dressing
Another simple one is to simply use or make infused olive or flax oils – these can be infused with herbs, spices, garlic etc. I personally love basil, chilli, garlic, rosemary (not all together) infused oils. They’re really easy to make, you just decant some oil into a dark glass bottle and pop in the herbs/spices and leave for a few days/weeks.
I hope this helps! I’d prob go for the orange dressing at breakfast!
I have some more recipes in my recipe book and on my blog for breakfasts and for dressings (and salads!).

Hi, I know that there are different oils you need to have every day. Would you let me know which different oils, and specifics about taking them. Thank you.
