Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing I don’t think ranch

Dairy-Free Ranch Dressing

I don’t think ranch dressing needs much of an intro, but this dressing is an easy way to sneak some herbs in and get your child eating salads. Did I mention we used mayonnaise to entice our son to eat salads, lol? Apple cider vinegar is the least offensive vinegar regarding free glutamate.
Feel free to play with the herbs used in this recipe to fit your needs best. Dill is an excellent source of flavonoid quercetin. Quercetin is neuroprotective against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, free radicals, and inhibitor glutamate release (which decreases neuron firing). Dill is also a natural antimicrobial and helps to property utilize fatty acids. Delicious and beneficial! Milk thistle, nettle, etc., can easily be snuck in here to enhance the nutritional value, medicinal properties, and flavor.

Ingredients

1 c. Homemade Mayonaise (see here for recipe)

1/2 c. Clean Coconut Milk like @nativeforestbrand SIMPLYCoconut Milk

2 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

2 cloves Garlic (minced)

1 tsp. Dried Parsley

1 tbsp. + 1 tsp. Fresh Chives (diced)

1 tsp. Fresh Dill (chopped)

1 tsp. Himalayan or Sea Salt

1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a small to medium bowl and whisk together until well combined. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days if using fresh homemade mayonnaise.

I have a plethora of random fun facts like this sitting on my phone. I figured I might as well share some of them 😉

Sulfites can be high in dried fruit/veggies, beer, wine, shrimp, chocolate, etc. It can also be added as sulfur dioxide (a gas used to preserve fruits and veggies), sodium sulfite, sodium, and potassium metabisulfite, and sodium, calcium, and potassium bisulfate.

"High sulfite levels in the blood and tissues inhibit an enzyme called glutamate dehydrogenase, which plays a major role in keeping brain glutamate levels from becoming too high. When this enzyme functions poorly, excitotoxicity can be triggered. This can lead not only to headaches, but also to an increased risk of degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and others. Inhibition of this critical enzyme by sulfites may also play a role in worsening asthma because glutamate in the lungs can trigger severe asthma attacks.

Most processed foods also contain high levels of glutamate additives, so the combination of sulfites and glutamate magnifies the toxic reaction. There is compelling evidence that high levels of sulfites can cause chronic degeneration of the nervous system and may even cause behavioral problems such as depression, panic attacks, and anxiety. It’s reasonable to assume that people who eat foods that are high in sulfites face a greater risk of chronic inflammation. And if they already have a chronic inflammatory disease — such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, or arthritis — sulfites could make their condition worse.

“Vitamin E can block the toxic effects of sulfites, but it can’t stop the impairment of learning and memory. This might occur because sulfites not only increase free radicals but also raise brain glutamate levels — and it is excitotoxicity that causes much of the impaired thinking."
