| Kale Salad | (finely chopped kale, cucumbers, tomatoes with Garlic Hemp Salad Dressing massaged into the Kale, with nutritional yeast---Topped with 1/2 an avocado) |
This is a great salad dressing that is light, yet flavorful. I have it often over raw kale (as seen in the picture above). It helps to mask the strong flavor of the kale.
Unlike normal oils, hemp oil, doesn't create fat in the body. You'll see this evidenced when you refrigerate it. Unlike most oils, this oil doesn't get "solid"... this shows us that it does not create fat in the body, but rather helps the fat to move out. So don't be worried about this salad dressing having an oil base!
Hemp Oil is 57% linoleic (LA) and 19% linolenic (LNA) acids, in the three-to-one ratio that matches our nutritional needs. These are the essential fatty acids (EFAs)-so called because the body cannot make them and must get them from external sources. The best sources are oils from freshly ground grains and whole seeds, but EFAs are fragile and quickly lost in processing. EFAs are the building blocks of longer chain fats, such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that occur naturally in the fat of cold-water fish like sardines, mackerel, salmon, bluefish, herring, and, to a lesser extent, tuna.
Adding these foods to the diet seems to lower risks of heart attacks because omega-3 fatty acids reduce the clotting tendency of the blood and improve cholesterol profiles. They also have a natural anti-inflammatory effect that makes them useful for people with arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
