ASIAN SESAME DRESSING
This 5-minute salad dressing is simple, tangy and so delicious! Not only is it great on any type of salad, but it’s also good as a marinade, sprinkled on many types of vegetables or even pouring over grilled chicken. Sesame oil can be used on occasion in small amounts for flavoring, as a little goes a long way. Toasted sesame has a more distinct sesame flavor than untoasted. Making your own salad dressing is not only very simple, it tastes better and costs much less per serving. Whether you add in the optional ingredients listed or make it very basic, you will love this dressing!
BALSAMIC MARINADE FOR STEAK OR CHICKEN

BLACKBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPYSEED DRESSING
Fresh blackberries in season are not only great tasting, but are also a powerhouse of nutrition. They are very high in fiber and have one of the highest antioxidant contents of any food tested. They also contain specific phytonutrients that have been shown to protect the brain from oxidative stress and help reduce the effects of age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Blackberries also aid in the fight against cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, such as colon cancer. The creamy poppyseed dressing will become a favorite on any salad, but works very well with the sweetness of the berries.
BROWN SUGAR BALSAMIC DRESSING
In addition to providing a host of health benefits, Balsamic vinegar also lends amazing flavor and a touch of class to many dishes. With a perfect blend of sweet, savory and tart flavors, this dressing can be used to drizzle over roasted or grilled vegetables, sautéed onions and mushrooms, tomato salad, chicken, beef, salmon or even strawberries. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking or not even use the “brown sugar” at all. Swerve Brown sugar replacement is a great low-glycemic, weight-loss friendly product that can be found at many grocery stores (Walmart, Kroger, etc.) now or online.

RANCH DRESSING
Just because you are trying to lose weight, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy delicious dressings or dips for your salads and vegetables. They add flavor and fun to your meals – and flavor means staying away from low-fat, low-calorie dressings with artificial sweeteners and unhealthy fats like canola and soybean oil. This recipe was sent to us from Karen, one of our clients. It is a bit different than the ranch dressing used in our Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, and really tastes great. Even her family enjoyed it!
FAT-BURNING SALAD DRESSING
One of our most requested recipes is for salad dressing. It is one of the hardest things to purchase off of the grocery store shelves, as they are so full of inflammatory fats like soybean, canola or cottonseed vegetable oils. Their heavy content of Omega-6 fatty acids sets us up for a lot of trouble, including weight gain. This recipe includes the ultimate fat-burner – MCT oil. If you don’t have any on hand, you can always use more olive oil. More options are given for different flavors, too. Primal Kitchen is a newer product on the shelves that is made with healthy avocado oil and is Genesis Health Solutions plan-approved, but there’s nothing like creamy homemade dressing with fresh herbs.
