After new research was released linking the acetate in all vinegars to Alzheimer's Disease, I took another look at Balsamic vinegar and decided I needed a salad dessing that was acetate-free.  This recipe can be made with raspberries or strawberries. I haven't tried it with blue berries yet, but that'll be next. It an also be made without oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sraspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest from the skin of one large Myers lemon
  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice 
  • 1/4 cup Aloe Vera juice (add more or less to desired consistency)
  • 2-3 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil,if desired.
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt or1/2 tsp NoSaltTM 

Preparation

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth.

Place dressing in an air-tight container and refrigerate until cold.

Serving

Goes well with almost any type of mixed green salad. I often add a can

of garbanzos or black beans, washed and drained, to the salad.

Experiment and enjoy!
