DRESS UP YOUR SALAD WITH COCONUT OIL

As you’ve learned from reading this book, consuming coconut oil daily can bring health benefits in every area of your life. But just eating a couple spoonfuls of the oil every day can get boring—that’s why I’ve also included a number of tantalizing recipes and easy ways to include coconut oil in your food. This Tropical Island Salad Dressing is loaded with nutrients and all the many benefits of coconut oil. Drizzle it over mixed greens for a salubrious, summertime treat—you may also want to add a sprinkling of bacon bits for extra protein. Combine it with rice and serve cold on a bed of spinach or arugula, or hot as a delightful side dish with fish or pork. Spoon over fish or shrimp to add a surprising burst of tropical flavor.

COCONUT OIL PROVIDES THE DELICIOUS BASE FOR THIS DRESSING, WHICH MAKES ABOUT 10 3-OUNCE SERVINGS.

³⁄₄ cup coconut oil

¹⁄₄ cup pineapple juice

¹⁄₂ cup pineapple

¹⁄₂ cup macadamia nuts

Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until all ingredients are emulsified.

This sweet and nutty dressing is so versatile, you’ll probably think of a dozen different ways to enjoy it. Try it over vanilla ice cream, or as a topping for white or yellow cake. Or, how about on pancakes instead of syrup?
