WalkIn Salad Dressing - strengthen the gut!

My friend Mari and I were having food conversations about not only eating but cooking!

You see, we both have histories of not even touching the kitchen, and eating out. No cooking, no stirring, no simmering. Nothing but other people's food. And now in our 40s we are sharing recipes to cook! It's amazing what health issues can do. Who are we? We've joked that we may be walk-ins from another planet, to teach us the ways of cooking!

Maybe it's not a joke...

Here's my friend's very tropical feeling salad dressing. This is amazing for the solar plexus, with lots of citrus and coconut! And goodness knows we need that stomach strengthening!

Mari's Salad Dressing (Serves 7 salads)

- 1/2 glass orange juice

- 5 tablespoons sesame oil

- 1 tablespoon tamari

- 1/2 lime juice - about a tablespoon

- 5 tablespoons coconut milk

SOOO GOOD!

Tangy beet and chicken salad helps me with anemia.

I'm prone to anemia and hormonal imbalances. But especially anemia.

While it's nice to go out and have a steak, it's also nice to have a vegetable pitch in. And beets do the trick! Beets are known to help with anemia and also help with female hormonal issues. They are pretty sweet, so anyone prone to diabetes or sugar issues should beets sparingly. Once used properly, beets pack a health punch!


Tangy beet and chicken salad:

• Marinate cutlets in olive oil, lemon, salt, paprika, black pepper, fresh parsley, and a teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
• Bake cutlets at 350 degrees until tender. Leave to cool.
• You can peel and boil about three beets or get canned beets. Either way, chop the beets into large slivers.
• Mince the chicken, and mix the beets and chicken together.
• Add lemongrass salad dressing or cut and dice half an orange and throw it in there. Add desired greens - I like chopped spinach and more parsley.
