Flax seeds & your health
Flax seed and flax seed oil is gaining more and more attention among health conscious people in Europe, North America and many other parts of the world, even in places where flax seed is not a part of the traditional diet. While interested in the potential health benefits of flax seed consumption, many consumers are still confused over how to integrate flax seed in their diet. Many of them end up purchasing flax seed oil pills, which is a bit sad since flax seed is such a delicious and versatile seed that can be enjoyed in all sorts of meals. Why not start out by making this delicious flax seed oil dressing for your next salad? The next step is to sprinkle some freshly grained flax seeds over your breakfast cereals, and then perhaps add some whole flax seeds when you make bread.
Fresh flax seed salad dressing
To begin with, chop fresh tomatoes until you have ¼ cup of them. Put them in your blender and add ¼ cup of flax seed oil, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of chives, 1 teaspoon of basil, and one pinch of salt. Finally, squeeze down roughly 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. (Many salad lovers prefer freshly squeezed lemon juice in their dressing but if you find it messy to squeeze your own you can use lemon juice from a bottle.) The final step is simply to process everything in the blender and enjoy the result.
