"Nothing could be further from the truth. salad bars can be laden with foods (such as egg salad and tuna salad) that are dripping with mayonnaise and fatty dressings. Here's my advice: Fill up your plate with fresh vegetables, then place a few tablespoons of your favorite salad dressing in a separate bowl. Dip your fork in the salad dressing before picking up each biteful of salad; the fork will be coated with just enough flavor to keep you happy, but you will be spared many of the calories and much of the fat. Slow down—Your mother was right—eat more slowly!" - Earl Mindell, Earl Mindell's Secret Remedies (Get the book.)

"There were soy "chicken" salad sandwiches in small, not quite bite-sized buns, and a beautiful salad that included some of the largest, most succulent blackberries I've ever seen. I enjoyed the sandwiches much more than I expected, and was a little embarrassed to realize that some of it was the presentation: The soy was served American style, slathered on a bun with some celery for crunch, and perhaps some mayo for creamy richness. Among the desserts was dried hibiscus, something Rhonda picked up on a lark, she said. It tasted candied, like dried apricots or mangoes." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"I eat small amounts of free-range chicken and turkey, just enough to mix in with a salad. Ask at the salad bar if they use organic vegetables and free-range meats. Salads with vegetables, nuts, and naturally nested (organic) eggs mixed in are great with a small amount of dressing like balsamic vinegar, olive oil, or flaxseed oil, added for taste. You can also eat spinach, sprouts, radishes, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, red chili peppers, and all other types of vegetables unless they don't agree with you but, again, watch the potatoes and corn." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"You can add flaxseeds to salads and smoothies and use flaxseed oil as a part of a salad dressing. But if you had to choose, I'd go with the fish oil, since it's the only way to be sure you're actually getting EPA and DHA. Also note: Although it's definitely possible to get all of your fish oil from actual fish, you'd have to eat an awful lot to get the therapeutic dose for lowering triglycerides, for example, or for relieving depression. Nonetheless, fish is a great way to get the basic preventive dose of EPA and DHA." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

This will give you your 16 Portions daily - great!" - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Olive oil is also useful as (or in) a salad dressing. Unrefined extra virgin olive oil is the best choice. Flax oil is also good in a salad dressing, but don't cook with it because it is very heat-sensitive. Go Wild When choosing fresh fish, opt for wild-caught rather than farm-raised. Wild fish will have lower levels of contaminants, especially mercury, and be richer in healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

Vegetables that tend to produce gas, such as the brassica family (cabbage family) and even nightshades, should be taken in moderation and with an experimental attitude to see if one is affected by these foods in a negative way." - Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Spiritual Nutrition: Six Foundations for Spiritual Life and the Awakening of Kundalini (Get the book.)

"Common cooking practices, processing, pasteurizing, blanching, irradiating and preservation leave little more enzyme activity than exists on a raw salad. Unfortunately, the general rule is that anything low in protein is usually low in enzymes. Salads are low in protein. The bottom line is that usable enzymes exist in only about 10 percent of the foods now available. But enzymes are needed in every bite of ingested food." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"A moderate-size salad or broth-based soup can help you feel full faster without contributing many calories. Here are a few more ideas on how you can reduce the energy density of your food and feel full and satisfied. Choose whole fruit over fruit juice—not only do you want the soluble fiber in the fruit, but commercially made fruit juices are pasteurized at high temperatures to kill bacteria. Cooking foods high in fructose (like fruit juice) is a great way to generate health-damaging dietary glycotoxins." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "When making egg or chicken salad, reduce the amount of the main ingredient by half, and substitute chopped celery and green pepper, shredded carrot, or radish and minced onion. Top your potatoes and vegetables with chopped tomatoes or salsa, or lemon juice and herbs, instead of sour cream, butter, or trans fat-laden hard margarine. If a broth-based soup seems too thin for you, add some pureed vegetables to the broth to make it thicker. WHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS? A question many people ask is, "Why should I take supplements when I can get all the nutrients I need from my food?" - Steven V.

"Both almond butter and sesame tahini are versatile ingredients for many types of recipes, particularly soups and salad dressings. Tahini is especially enhancing with its creamy, dairy-like texture and rich flavor. These butters make a great snack straight out of the jar, as a dip for crudites or apple slices, or as a spread for raw bread or crackers. Research cited in this book shows that almonds are associated with up to 23 percent decrease in LDL. HEMPSEED The tiny shelled seed of the amazing hemp plant has a pleasant nutty flavor, similar to sunflower seeds." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "The best oils to use in salad dressings are those high in omega-3 such as walnuts, flax, and hemp, as well as sesame oil, which is very high in antioxidants. We recommend in our recipes that one can try substituting these oils for olive oil. In our clients put on a 100-percent living and raw foods diet with 15-20 percent raw plant fat, including raw nuts, seeds, and avocado, we saw an average 44-percent drop in LDL with an average drop to an LDL of 82. We saw relief from all diabetic degenerative symptoms, including improved mental function." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "So, if one wants to make an Italian salad, for example, use Italian produce like tomatoes, olives, and spinach, along with a little olive oil and lemon, which are common there, and then salt. Next, add the herbs that are particular to the Italian culture. If desiring a Thai dish, coconut pulp and sesame are certainly going to be used. One can use coconut with a little bit of lime, and then add the spices that are appropriate to Thai culture. To accompany these basic flavors, include peas, carrots, and cauliflower for Thai cuisine." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The patient has a breakfast consisting of a vegetable juice or a vegetable/fruit juice combination, a blended salad, a piece of fruit, perhaps some hot cereal and a couple of soft boiled egg yolks. For lunch the patient has a vegetable juice or vegetable/fruit juice combination, a blended salad, a cup or a little more than that, a piece of fruit, and then some raw nuts or unsalted raw milk cheese. For the evening meal, the patient starts with juice again, blended salad, tossed salad, steamed vegetables such as string beans, broccoli, or escarole." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"Vinegar-based salad dressing. • Some barbecue sauces. Sour cream. • Olives. Mustard. • Capers. • Tempeh. • Cider. • Tea (which is made from fermented leaves). Mushrooms. • Pickles. This list may look daunting, but like every form of dietary change, it becomes easier as new habits are formed. Furthermore, Candida can sometimes be overcome in a moderately short period of time, occasionally within a few days or weeks, although this is relatively uncommon." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
