Day 8 - Dressing Up Your Salad

Salads are tasty, but most of us are used to a nice creamy ranch or a light sun-dried tomato vinaigrette.  Though we can't be knocking back bottles of HFCS-filled dressing, there are other choices available.  It may take a few ingredients and some time over the weekend, but the effort will yield more than a month's worth of paleo dressing.

Here are some links to help you turn your bowl of leaves and veggies into a super-tasty dish.  (Use the honey sparingly.)


Post thoughts and food to comments.

    Tried fasting, never been good at this:). I just love to eat I guess.

    B - 20oz. black coffee, 3 fried eggs, 3 slices bacon, 1/2 green pepper (raw)
    L - 1 banana, 1 Larabar
    S - 30 pecan halves
    D - 8oz. tilapia, 3 glasses of wine

    Friends coming in to town shortly for the VT vs. UNC game. Wish me luck on not cheating tomorrow!! Will power will be tested, big time:). I plan to bring hb eggs, and eat only meat, but it's always tough when I've been drinking.
