STRAWBERRY VINAIGRETTE (my fav!)

You will notice that all of the above recipes are made with organic fresh ingredients. No oils, butter or fats. Many of the ingredients contain great health benefits as well, here are a couple that I use all of the time in my recipes:

Apple Cider Vinegar:

• Be sure to purchase the Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, this is made of organically grown apples and retains the fruits' nutrients because raw apple cider vinegar is not pasteurized.  It goes through a fermentation process which produces enzymes and life giving nutrients. It is a great base for all vinaigrettes and marinades.
• I recommend Bragg
•  Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Stevia:

• Stevia is a small green plant native to Paraguay, the leaves have a delicious taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar.  The human body does not metabolize the sweet glycosides from the leaf and therefore the body does not obtain any calories from Stevia. Be sure to purchase Stevia in it's pure unadulterated form and it will not adversely affect blood glucose.
• Stevia comes in powder form or liquid form, I put this in just about everything from my coffee in the morning to my protein shakes. The liquid also comes in many great flavors for your coffee and desserts... yummy!
