Alkaline Diet Recipe #156: Coriander, Mint & Chilli Dressing

I love, love, love this alkaline dressing. It combines all of my favourite flavours and it’s super-alkaline and a super-sneaky way to sneak more nutrition into your meal (and your family’s tummies).

As I’ve written about before – having delicious dressings and sauces makes eating alkaline and GETTING alkaline a whole lot easier. Why? Well, not only does it add massive variety and flavour to quickly steamed or grilled veggies (making an alkaline meal or snack a quick and easy job that needs no creativity or effort!) but it also sneaks a whole lot more veggies into your diet – disguised as a sauce!

This alkaline dressing recipe makes use of fresh herbs that pack a lot of flavor and nutrition. Coriander is well known to be an detoxifier, highly alkaline and an anti-inflammatory plant. There have also been studies showing it to have cholesterol-lowering effects.

Mint, on the other hand, is a rich source of traditional nutrients like manganese, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C.

A combination of both instantly spices up not just any salad, but is fantastic for our health and vitality!
