ACV salad dressing

dressing recipe from-    http://candidadietrecipeblog.com/

I adapted this recipe to our tastes as well.  This is actually one of the better Italian-style dressing recipes I’ve used in general, so, of course, I was thrilled it’s allowed on the diet!

• 1 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp of onion powder
• 2 Tbsp. of whole grain mustard/dijon mustard or powdered mustard
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp of dried thyme or rosemary
• 1 tsp of dried basil
• 1 tsp salt
• pinch of stevia*

* When I include stevia in a recipe, I always mean the “Stevia Extract in the Raw,” which is conveniently proportioned to be cup for cup for bakers in larger bags.  If you use the liquid form or a different brand, you may have to adjust your measurement.

marinaded chicken 2 ways

marinade chicken cuts in mix of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, rotisserie herbs (marjoram, oregano, garlic, onion, black pepper, thyme, cumin, cayenne)

1st night-
Chicken and Rice
cook marinaded chicken however seems good- grill, bake, pan, etc.- I baked it at 350 for 30 min. in its marinade and it was moist and delicious.
serve with mushroom rice (mushrooms are a later Phase, not Phase 1!)- basamati rice mixed with simmered mushrooms (in butter, apple cider vinegar, ground K salt, ground pepper), stir in a couple blobs of greek yogurt, add a little chicken broth- yum!

2nd night-
Cheesy Chicken sandwich
chop up marinaded chicken
heat up in pan with a little olive oil
add a blob of natural mayo, and a blob of greek yogurt
lastly, add shredded cheese

serve on low sugar, gluten free bread
w/ tomato and lettuce

good with grilled pineapple!
