Being chosen to prepare nutrient rich FLAX SNAX PLUS health packs for the Sharsheret Israel (https://www.facebook.com/sharsheret.org), a breast cancer support group, event last night was gratifying both because of the choice to gift attendees with a nutritious pack and because of the decision to support local businesses both for the juices (from the Juicery) as well as my product.
There is ample evidence about the correlation between (different types of) cancer and nutrition. To be able to offer readily available products as well as easy to apply ideas was a privilege for me.
Gut health was one topic I focused on. A healthy gut impacts on health at so many levels: cancer (including breast cancer), immune system, digestive health, mental health and more. The pack I distributed contained Miso Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. Miso is fermented soy paste which contains probiotic bacteria...which promotes gut health.
Here's the recipe:
Vinaigrette Miso Salad Dressing
Ingredients
¼ cup rice vinegar and/or lemon juice and/or lime juice and/or balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon miso
warm water
½ cup evoo (extra virgin olive oil)
1 tsp good quality mustard (good quality mustard comes in glass jars)
1-2 tsp silan (date syrup) or maple syrup
salt, to taste if needed (miso is quite salty)
Method
Put vinegar and/or lemon or lime juice in a mixing bowl with miso. Whisk together or blend with an immersion blender, adding water to achieve desired consistency.
Add other ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust as needed.
Thanks again to the Sharsheret Israel Organizing Committee.
Have a healthy winter.
