Recipe: Our Favorite Anti-Inflammatory Salad Dressing

Summer calls for fresh raw salads, which means I’m breaking out my pesto dressing! It’s a crowd pleaser— you won’t find a single leaf untouched. Not only is the flavor a winner, pesto is nutrient dense. It contains basil, an anti-inflammatory herb from the mint family. Basil includes antioxidant dense essential oils to protect the liver, and support the overall immune system . It is also an antimicrobial for all of you struggling with candida or gut dysbiosis .

• 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds

• 1 cup of packed basil

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
