A vinaigrette to help ward off colds!

 Welcome! I am now just getting back into the groove, since a mess of a bronchial cold knocked me on my bottom for the past week. I've decided to share with you a great secret of mine (more like holistic nutrition common sense) that will jump start your immune system.  By consuming this immune boosting vinaigrette, your body should be working at its peak, and will thank you by remaining healthy during cold and flu season!

 Immune Booster Vinaigrette:
2 big cloves of raw garlic
1-2 tbsp. of raw apple cider vinegar
1-2 tbsp. of raw honey*
2 tsp. of organic olive oil
Combine the first three ingredients in a food processor for 15 seconds, then stream in the olive oil, while pulsing.
*Raw honey has some insane natural healing properties that you don't receive from cooked honey, since the live enzymes are lost when heated.

The way I eat it: I prefer dousing all of this dressing on a beautiful bed of raw organic kale & parsley.  Sometimes, I 'll even add organic red raspberries and walnuts for a true flavor explosion. Kaaaaboooom!!!!!!
