Dressing up your Salad
Many ask “am I allowed to have salad dressing?” It’s interesting how the “fat-free” era is in many people’s minds.
What they don’t realize is that the nutrients and antioxidants in salad and vegetables need some healthy fats to be absorbed and that has been known for over a decade.
Here’s a tasty dressing from A Recipe for Life that contains the monounsaturated fat olive oil, spices, takes 5 minutes to make and far tastier than any bottled dressing you would buy.
Jeffrey’s Salad Dressing

2-3 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
