I can’t imagine summer without fresh healthy salads. Salads made with leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables are great for lunch boxes and busy days. This dressing adds great flavour and is made with healthy fats. Olive oil is high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and MCT oil will help you kick-start fat loss. You can keep the dressing in the fridge and just drizzle over crunchy lettuce, tomatoes and other seasonal veggies. Fat-Burning Salad Dressing!

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, you can make your own (55 g / 1.9 oz)

- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60 ml / 2 fl oz)

Suggestions for additional seasoning and substitutions:
- 1/2 garlic powder instead of crushed garlic
- 1/4 tsp chili powder or 1-2 tsp freshly chopped chili pepper
- Tbsp Sriracha – you can make your own
- 1 tbsp ketchup (you can make your own) and 1/2 tsp onion powder
- other healthy oils instead of olive oil and / or MCT oil: avocado, macadamia or walnut oils are my favourites
- Notes: When looking for ingredients, try to get them in their most natural form (organic, without unnecessary additives).
