Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I am a huge fan of salads. They are easy, crunchy, and paired with a good dressing, delicious. Making your own dressing isn’t as hard as you think, especially a Balsamic Vinaigrette. This recipe was taught to me by a Lebanese family friend way back in high school and I’ve been making it for years. I can’t believe I haven’t shared it sooner. Then again, maybe it’s a good thing because my photography has gotten so much better in the past year! I use the recipe for more than just salads though. I use it as a marinade for chicken and as a vegetable dip (instead of something like ranch).

Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

I have two different ways to make it. In bulk, for like a party, or if you want to eat it every day on your salad for a week, or for an individual serving. This recipe is shelf stable up to 5 days, which is really nice. For this recipe you will need a high-quality extra virgin olive oil (like this one), balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herb blend, and sea salt. I really do love how simple this recipe is.

Individual Recipe

For just one serving you will need 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp dijon mustard (or to taste), 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder, and one pinch sea salt. Mix it all together then pour over your salad.

Bulk Recipe

For around a weeks worth (depending on how much dressing you like) you will need 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard (or to taste), 2 tsp dried Italian herbs, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt. Mix all the ingredients together, store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days. Use as desired during that time.

I help ND's patients follow the diet side of the treatment plan so they can effortlessly feel better faster.

I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the I have a thing for salads. I love the crunch, the sweetness of the tomatoes, the saltiness of the olives, the earthiness of beets, paired with a delicious dressing.

To make the perfect salad at home you need:
✅2 different greens
✅several different veggies in a combination of: earthy, salty, crunchy, and flavorful/bite-y.
✅Protein of choice 
✅ a dressing that has vinegar or citrus juice plus oil and salt to counter the bitterness of the greens

When you have this combo you'll have a restaurant salad at home!
There's nothing that can compare to a snow day off There's nothing that can compare to a snow day off the beaten path. I love owning a #landcruiser so we can have these adventures.
We are having some beautiful winter weather this w We are having some beautiful winter weather this weekend and I'm stoked! Not only do we need the rain and snow (up north), I get to snuggle in and have enjoy comforting soup! 

I like to use bone broth as my base since it's pretty much liquid gold when it comes to health, then load up the herbs for flavor and their medicinal properties, then add veggies, chicken, and sometimes gluten free noodles. My family prefers less veggies and more noodles than I do so I often make two batches. Are you willing to do two batches of a similar meal to make everyone happy?
There comes a time when your patient load is full, There comes a time when your patient load is full, your running a practice full time, and just don't have the time to give to high-need patients that you used to.

Even though you have the coaching skills, there just isn't enough time. You don't have to overwork yourself or tell the patients to read the handouts again. Instead, you have a couple of options to improve patient success rate and their satisfaction with your care.

#1: Partner with a Health Coach. A health coach can be an invaluable asset to complement your practice. A good one can ensure your patients are clear on the why behind the treatment plan and guide them in implementing it successfully into their lives. I've talked with a lot of ND's and I know that there are a lot of coaches out there who just can't coach to the level you need for your patients. Everyone has their specialty and finding a coach that is able to follow your treatment plan correctly is a challenge. We are out there!
#2 Offer an Online Coaching Program. You can develop this yourself or you can become an affiliate to programs. Becoming an affiliate is nice because you don't have to put the hours into creating your own course and you make a supplemental income while providing patients with the support they need.

Having partnered with ND's for over 7 years, I have seen firsthand how beneficial a coach and online coaching programs are to their practices. It gives them more time to be the doctor and business owner while knowing their patients are following the treatment plan and getting better quickly, with less frustration. This past year I created an affiliate program for not only my ND partners but all ND's to be able to share with their patients directly from their websites. Everyone is happy, especially the patients. If you haven't yet, head to the link in my bio to learn more about my Coaching Programs available for your patients!

Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for Quiche's are an easy way to create a breakfast for the week that is sustaining, delicious, and healthy all at the same time.

I like to use sweet potatoes as my crust, then I add in sauteed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with precooked bacon or sausage, and if I'm feeling indulgent, some goat cheese along with salt, pepper, and herbs.

The cheese and sausage help keep the texture from getting dry when reheating. However, you can always top with salsa or avocado to help with that as well. This recipe can be found on my YouTube channel, Thrive Gluten Free.

A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it complicated. When you are clear on the basics, you can start making it work for you from there.

If you can't wrap your head around it, I have a meal plan and online coaching program that can help give you the jumpstart and tips you need to make it work. I also help you transition off the diet and back into a normal healthy eating lifestyle at the end of the 3 months! Learn more here: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/low-mold-diet-guide-meal-plan/

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.
