When helping clients eat foods that will fight dis-ease versus create it, the first step is usually adding in high vibration plant-based foods like seasonal fruits and vegetables. Another way to quickly improve your health is by adding high-quality herbs and spices. 

If time is a roadblock for you or you are not excited about spending a lot of time in the kitchen, this recipe is for you.

Not only is it simple, but it is customize-able based on your taste preference and herbal needs. You can use this as a dressing on salads, beans, grains, vegetables, dipping bread, or even cooking oil. 

Whatever you end up putting this on, don’t forget to chew each bite at least 30 times!

Ingredients

• 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 or more cloves of garlic chopped and allow to sit for 15 min
• Long pepper to taste
• High-quality sea salt to taste
• 1 tsp of your favorite dried herbs. Some of my favorites are:
  • Basil
  • Bay leaf (Laurus nobilis specifically) 
  • Dill
  • Rose
  • Saffron
  • Sage
  • Thyme
  • Oregano
  • Mace
  • Marjoram

Or, you can use fresh herbs for a lovely presentation, which can make a lovely gift!

Remember, quality matters. My go-to for quality herbs is Mountain Rose Herbs. With over 30 years in business, they offer sustainable, organic items, including herbs, spices, teas, essential oils, and more to the US and Canada. They are a zero-waste and fair trade company dedicated to improving the world while supporting their local communities.
