I could come up with a fancier name for this dressing, but will keep things simple as this one’s rich enough to stand on its own. Drizzle over a build-your-own salad or as a dip 😉
Even in small amounts, parsley has numerous health benefits; including being exceptionally nutrient-dense, rich in essential oils (i.e. apiol, myristicin) and antioxidants. Super parsley! Great for regulating bowels, balancing blood sugar, and decreasing a bloated belly. Folk medicine used parsley as a detox remedy, diuretic, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory for centuries.
This recipe is perfect if you are healing a health issue and/or on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) because parsley is also antibacterial, anti fungal, and contains large amounts of vitamins and minerals to help boost immunity so your body can conquer whatever infection or imbalance might be going on, such as Candida or GBS+.
Vegetable-blended dressings and soups, are an easy way to get your vitamins, minerals, and fats. They are also very easy to digest since they are blended; which is key when healing a digestive issue to feed yourself foods that move through slowly but surely.
