Well, today is the last Thursday in April, meaning that it is the last chance to recieve a free spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A. Simply go into your local Chick-Fil-A restaurant and say “I can take the heat” to the cashier and you will get your free sandwich. No additional purchase is required. Enjoy!
This may not be quite an original recipe but it’s something that I have caught onto since I’ve been eating healthier. One of the things that a lot of experts say is that the health benefits of a house salad often get counterbalanced by the negative effects of salad dressings. Since humans don’t like bland food, we add unhealthy dressing to provide some kick to our taste buds. If you’ve never read the back of a salad dressing container, you probably should do so sitting down. I prefer Italian dressing and the bottle lists that two tablespoons of the dressing has 370mg of sodium. That is a horrible ratio! Not only is that a lot of sodium to take in at one time but it comes out to be about 15-20% of your recommended daily value. Just in two tablespoons of dressing! To counter the negative side effects of the Italian dressing, I decided to mix it with some freshly squeezed lemon juice. Here is the simple recipe:
Now, you can mix the two any way that you would like. I prefer to mix them in a small Tupperware container but that is only because I take it with me to work and I don’t want my salad basting in dressing before I eat it. The addition of lemon juice should add more of a citrus zest to the dressing. Although I haven’t tried it, I’m sure this would work with other dressings, too. The citrus juice aids in oxidizing the body, preventing against infections, and is a good source of Vitamin C. You would obviously need to intake a lot of lemon juice for it to have a significant effect on your body but every little bit counts.
A good suggestion is to slowly reduce the levels of Italian dressing and increase the amount of lemon juice to your mixture until you have trained your taste buds away from the dressing. Lime juice works too but it leaves a very bitter taste when combined with lettuce so you may want to only apply a tad.
Has anyone else tried this? What are your thoughts? How does this taste with other types of dressings? Let us know in the comment section!
