EVERYDAY ON EVERYTHING DRESSING - Brandi McCarthy-Keays

I use this dressing on every vegetable I can find! When you use flax seed oil, it keeps really well in the fridge and the oil won’t go hard like olive oil. You can find flax seed oil at most grocery stores in the health food section, its costs more, but you only need to use it on salad dressings – NEVER cook with flax seed oil, it is unstable and can form dangerous free radical when heated. It is a fabulous source of Omega3 fatty acids which are super healthy for your skin and brain! If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, I highly recommend buying some; again you’ll probably find it in the health food section of your favorite grocery store. It has tons of health benefits over other vinegars and tastes delicious! Feel free to substitute any other light lasting vinegar if you would prefer though. This is enough to make and keep in the fridge for future salads; a great serving size is 1-2tbsp per person.

•½ cup flax seed oil

•¾ cup apple cider vinegar

•1tbsp runny honey

•2tbsps Dijon (or hot) mustard

•1 crushed and chopped clove of garlic

•1tbsp grated ginger (optional)

•1tbsp chopped chives (dried or fresh, basil or oregano is delicious as well)

•Salt and pepper to taste

Shake it all up in a jar, keep it in the fridge and enjoy it over any salads, steamed asparagus or broccoli, chopped peppers and tomatoes…..I could go on forever!
