SIX Family Fav SCD PALEO Salad Dressings » BIOME ONBOARD AWARENESS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND FOOD, OUR MICROBIOME, AND DISEASE

Last Updated on January 14, 2019 by Patricia Carter

SUMMARY: Sharing SIX of my ridic delic family and friend approved SCD PALEO Salad Dressings along with my homemade fermented Dijon mustard recipe (because some recipes have this as an ingredient)! I want followers here to have these recipes since they just posted on my Instagram, patty.carter, and this is a work around to Pinterest truncating image descriptions (which meant that you couldn’t see all the description, and thus ingredients, for some of these recipes)! Of course, continue contacting me direct for those Pinterest recipes, all of which focus on the healing diet tenets from SCD, PALEO, Mediterranean Diet, and others! ♡ These dressings are what got my kiddos eating massive amounts of colorful microbiome boosting salads! They are that redic delic!!! We even take these salad dressings to the beach! 👙 I double these recipes making them in bulk to always have them on hand and to make light the work prep! Also learn in this post that there’s good reason these dressings are always in healing fridges 👉

The SCD PALEO Salad Dressings are:

》 These salad dressings use monounsaturated heart-healthy unadulterated extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or avocado –> So all those fat soluble vitamins and carotenoids can be absorbed from salads they sit atop. Low-fat or no-fat dressings won’t do that! Make sure to choose an unadulterated EVOO brand listed on this UCDavis PDF so as to not get vegetable oil, corn oil, or soybean oil added in despite labeling saying ‘pure’ extra virgin olive oil. Those oils are associated with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, IBD if predisposed, and inhibition of our main liver detox gene, P-450 –> see the post, Soybean Oil, Corn oil, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome & P-450 for more on all of that!

》 The monounsaturated fats are the fats that boost and protect brain health. 👉 Don’t use canola oil; it is proving to be brain damaging (in mice for now).

》 Plus, these salad dressings contains loads of polyphenol-rich herbs and microbiome loving prebiotics like garlic, not to mention all the microbiome nourishing fiber riding along in those salads these dressings sit atop! It is a redic delic easy way to eat you 30 different vegs for best microbiome support! For all that, see the post, Optimal Microbiome Diet from American Gut Data.

Practical tips:

1. Make these salad dressings in bulk (I always double the recipes),

1. Take a small bottle to restaurants because theirs will have microbiome damaging oils and additives like emulsifiers, and

Just take these salad dressings out of the fridge a few minutes ahead of use to liquefy them!

Some Ingredient Insights:

“Real balsamic vinegar” –> I recommend Olivier Napa Valley VSOP Balsamic Vinegar which is SCD legal as it is fermented properly (25 years) and free of additives. Olivier’s was actually pulled from Williams-Sonoma stores a few years back as they introduced their own brand. Due to customer demand, Olivier’s is now back in their stores (buy two and get a discount) or get it direct from Olivier’s online.
A few of the recipes use Mark Sisson’s Primal Kitchen Mayo with Avocado Oil which is an avocado based mayo! It meets SCD requirements as noted on Dr. Suskind NIMBAL SCD PRODUCE study materials. See @marksissonprimal @primalkitchenfoods for more!
