I’ve been searching for a simple, alkaline greek salad dressing that actually tastes good and is all natural, and I think I finally found it.  An alkaline diet is becoming more popular to help people correct their body’s pH balance and return to a normal state that is easier to stay thin as well as to stay disease free.  The alkaline diet is great for if you have digestion or constipation problems, and also helps those that can’t lose weight to lose it, as well as to correct a multitude of health problems per it’s biggest advocates.  I’ve personally found that when I consume a more alkaline diet, I feel better, my digestion is better, I have no heart burn, and less gastrointestinal discomfort, so I do believe it does some of the things it claims to personally.

Here is my simple recipe for an alkaline lemon juice based salad dressing – enjoy!

1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed.  I found that this is usually 2-3 whole lemons depending on their size and how juicy they are.

1/2 cup olive oil extra virgin I like to substitute about 1/8 of this 1/2 cup with water to lessen the fat content and that works fine.

1 Tablespoon of sea salt.  Please don’t use regular table salt, sea salt is more alkaline in nature.

4 cloves of garlic pressed through a garlic press.

1 teaspoon or oregano

1 teaspoon of parsley

1 teaspoon of sweet basil.

I mix this all together in my mini food processor and whirl it around a few times.  It will come out with a light lemon yellow color.  You can referigerate it, but it will separate and need to be shaken prior to each use.  It is delicious and flavorful, especially as it sits longer, and you barely need any of this dressing on your salad, so it last forever. Trust me, don’t over do it with this dressing, you only need less than a tablespoon for a medium sized salad to flavor it, perhaps even less once it sits a few days and collects more flavor.
