Putting a healthy twist on comfort food!

I constantly take questions from people that try to break the cycle of how they eat. The concept of comfort food is something everyone struggles with. Mayonnaise and creamy dressings are a common part of people’s diets and if you grew up eating this, it may be comfort food for you. It took me a while to understand I needed to provide creamy options for my clients. Here is a great alternative for mayonnaise that is easy to prepare and can be used as a spread or salad dressing. Here is a simple one that can be varied to your taste, thickness, or quantity. Focus on the ingredients, not the quantities that I use.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 Tablespoon Raw Tahini (pureed sesame seeds)

1/2 Medium Size Lemon, juiced OR 1/2 tsp Apple Cider vinegar (unpasteurized)

4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

**Variations on flavor may include one of the following: crushed garlic, a pinch of hot peppers, hot sauce, curry sauce, or fresh or dried herbs**

Make it

Mix this in with a hearty green salad right before serving or smear it on a sandwich. Always remember to use organic ingredients and at a minimum be sure your oil and the dirty dozen fruits and veggies are organic.

In Peace, Love, and Health,
