Next month on the website, we are discussing autoimmune conditions and looking at how to use nutrition to mitigate them. These two simple salad dressings are designed to sit alongside an autoimmune protocol and can be incorporated into any salad.

Salads are an important part of a well-balanced, healthy diet as they offer an unrivaled opportunity to consume a wide range of vegetables, most of which are in their most nutritious raw form. Unfortunately, the dressings we put on them are often full of sugar and other additives, meaning that the salad ends up not being particularly healthy.

But there is really no reason why this needs to be the case. There are plenty of options for creating a delicious salad dressing without reaching for the sugar. Try these couple of options for starters.
