Nightshade Free Pepper Mint Salad Dressing And Marinade
I like this recipe as it can be used in any salad to spruce up the flavor, but it is also an excellent marinade sauce for both chicken and fish. Please don’t mix this recipe up with peppermint – this recipe involves the herb mint and pepper corns!
I will be using this sauce in tomorrows recipe in the 50 day nightshade free recipe challenge but I thought this recipe deserved a post of its own as I always find it hard to make decent homemade salad dressings.
If you are following the Smart Psoriasis Diet Plan, then you are probably upping the intake of salad dishes into your weekly meal plan.
