Yeast Free Living

The last time that I successfully did the candida diet many years ago I gave up salad.  I hate eating salad without dressing and could not find a salad dressing that did not include vinegar, sugar or some other ingredient not allowed on a yeast free diet.  This time around with the hope of bringing salad back into my diet, especially since it is a great way to eat raw vegetables, I searched for a salad dressing recipe.  The recipe below is by far my favorite salad dressing and it seems to go well with a variety of salads that I have prepared.  It is pretty easy to make.  I am not use to cooking with fresh herbs so it did take me a little while to add the fresh thyme and tarragon to the dressing.  Other than that I found this recipe extremely easy to execute.  I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.  This is from the The Candida Control Cookbook: What You Should Know and What You Should Eat to Manage Yeast Infections (New Revised & Updated Edition) by Gail Burton.
