Alkaline Diet Recipe: Creamy Herb Dressing With Fresh Greens

Although I eat a mostly plant-based diet, I don’t describe myself as vegan or vegetarian. I’m an conscious eater who focuses on mineral rich, alkalizing and energizing foods…and I hope you are too.

Being an Alkalarian means eating good healthy fats, a few wild-caught proteins like fish, mostly veggies and low-sugar fruits, and all real, unprocessed food. If it can go bad and spoil, it’s usually a food that you can out in your body.

That’s what’s going to keep you looking young and feeling healthy for decades to come. This recipe is a perfect example of the Alkalarian lifestyle.

It’s delicious, entirely plant-based, full of vitamins and minerals, and it will make you feel fantastic instead of weighing you down and making you feel sluggish like most of the Standard American Diet (SAD).

It’s a delicious salad with a homemade dressing that will rival any creamy, acidic dressing when it comes to taste. You’re going to want to make a big batch of this to use for lunches and dinners all the time!
