Salad tips during alkaline fasting: dressings without vinegar and wild herbs
No vinegar or mustard โ but lots of flavour: the dressing kit, a scalable base recipe and ideas for filling salads.
๐ซNo vinegar or mustard
๐Oil + lemon + salt
๐Orange juice instead of sugar
๐ผEdible flowers as eye-catchers
Fits almost every salad
The base dressing: oil, lemon and salt
In summer a fresh salad is the perfect lunch. Vinegar and mustard are left out (why?) โ this base dressing still fits almost every salad.
Prep: 3 minDifficulty: easy
Ingredients
2servings
- 3 tbspquality oil, e.g. olive oil
- 1 tbspfresh lemon juice
- 1 pinchnatural salt
- optionalfresh herbs and spices
Method (tap a step when done)
- Put oil and fresh lemon juice in a jar.
- Season with natural salt โ see salt.
- Stir in herbs and spices and shake well.
- Pour over the salad just before serving.

Which oils suit cold dishes: which oils.
Tap a dressing
The dressing kit
Herb and nut pesto
Oil, lemon and salt are the basis for pesto too. Italian classic: plenty of basil with almonds or pistachios.
Parsley, mint, tarragon or ground elder work too. Nuts: nuts & seeds.
Tahini dressing โ oriental or Asian
Mix tahini with water, lemon juice and salt; water sets the consistency.
Great on salad or as a sauce, e.g. with roasted cauliflower. Cumin adds an oriental note.
Secret tip: fresh orange juice
Instead of sugar: coconut sugar, agave, apple or pear syrup or maple syrup. Better still: fresh orange juice.
Try chicory with orange: the sweetness balances the bitterness.
Carrot salad with nuts and raisins
Simple and filling: grated carrots with raisins and nuts โ even better with beetroot.
Coconut or sesame work too. Raw food best before 2 pm (why?).
Free and nutritious
Wild herbs and edible flowers
Besides supermarket salads, use nutritious wild plants. Only gather what you can identify.
Nettle
Blanch and use like spinach.
How to use itDaisies
Found almost everywhere โ a pretty touch.
Rose petals
Decorate desserts โ e.g. alkaline ice cream.
Courgette flowers
Suit vegetable dishes โ recipe: courgette flowers.
Mushrooms
Make salads hearty โ mushrooms.
