Cleanse Recipes (that make the Cleansing experience delicious!)

#1 - Make up a salad dressing that you really like.  You can dip your vegetables in it before eating or put the dressing on your salad.  A good salad dressing makes all the difference.  You can store your salad dressing in the refrigerator.

Here is a popular recipe:

• 1 cup of olive oil

• 2 tablespoons of squeezed lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons of water

• 1/2 teaspoon of Italian herbs

• 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt

• 1 crushed garlic clove

• 1/2 teaspoon of dill (or to taste)

Mix in a blender.  Dip or marinate your vegetables in this.  It's great!

#2 - You are allowed one tablespoon per day of butter or plain yogurt.  Try putting butter on steamed cauliflower with a little garlic or yogurt with cucumbers.

#3 - Her is a Zucchini Squash & Onion recipe that we enjoy immensely during Cleansing:

• Slice 2 onions

Enjoy!  Makes two very large servings.

• 1/2 English cucumber

• 1/2 teaspoon of Real Salt
