Irresistible salad dressing that makes you want to eat loads of greens!

Did you know that a salad dressing containing good quality fat like organic olive oil will help you absorb better the carotenoids (phyto chemicals found in plant foods) in your salad. Carotenoids give plant foods their colour and act as antioxidants in the human body.

The body produces free radicals which are harmful compounds during normal metabolism as well as when infection is present. The harmful effect of free radicals is considered a major cause of cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune-system dysfunction, and macular degeneration. The antioxidant properties of phyto chemicals stop free radicals from damaging the body. Carotenoids seem to be one of the more important types of phyto chemicals.

Organic honey is also known for its very healthy properties; for the immune system (antioxidants), beautiful skin and for it’s antibacterial and antifungal properties. It’s also a great sugar substitute.

 

This salad dressing you make in 4 minutes, all you need is a clean glass jar .. (and the ingredients!)
