The dressing IS a big part of the meal.

Everyone knows, (well almost everyone knows) that the base of a healthy diet is green vegetables, and that the centerpiece of any healthy diet is the salad!

There is something amazing about salads; besides being the most nutrient rich meals of the day, they are light and filling. Depending on how you prepare them they can one of the most filling nutrient rich meals of the day.

Like "the sandwich" and other food preparation franchises, there are unlimited ways to make a salad. The constant is leafy greens.

Now, as popular as salads have become, and as healthy and convenient as they can be as a staple in any healthy diet no matter what brand or diet type, salads are the subject of as many diet traps as the Standard American Diet.

Why?

Well, the reason is, you can put just about anything on a salad in the world of westernized diets and have it still be called a "salad".

Now one of the biggest diet traps of modern day salads is the dressing.

First, let me say, that the mark of a great salad dressing is that it's a whole food and one of the "food ingredients". If you were to run out of salad, you could then lick the bowl and eat up the salad dressing.

But that's not the case with 99% of salad dressings.

Would you ever consider putting a spoonful of ranch dressing in your mouth?Of course not.

We just held the first North Jersey Nutritarian Meet up at our center and had a pot luck nutrient rich meal with 3 new friends. Here it is in pictures and in video, like you were there yourself!

Five pioneering members kicked off the North Jersey Nutritarian's Meet Up and it was a great time. I'm not in the picture, because I was taking it and probably eating.

We had Dr. Fuhrman's Anti Cancer Soup, Dr. Fuhrman's Healthy Chocolate Cake, two different Quinoa dishes, a goji berry nut mix and a watermelon.

This was great, not only because of the great food but also because this is often where you do some of you best learning when changing your diet style or lifestyle; in collaboration with others and in fun social situations. This was fun and we met new friends!

Here's a video from the night where we all answered a simple question... If I were going to be my favorite fruit or vegetable, what would it be and why?

Yummy. Nutrient Rich. Simple to make.

Take a piece of tinfoil and wrap up a beet.

Slow bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour until you can easily stick a fork in. Let cool and skin will peel right off easily . Then you can cut it up and throw it on top of your salad.

You can also get fancier and add some pepper, thyme (or seasoning of your choice),  squeeze fresh lemon and a splash of vegetable stock. Form a tent out of the tin foil and slow roast for about an hour until beets are tender.  Once cooked, let cool and peel off the skin and slice into 2 inch squares. Add to salads or just eat plain.

Beets are part of a nutrient rich diet. You can steam,  bake,  shred. Check out other recipes in our data base. (They are even part of your healthy chocolate cake recipe)
