You will be rewarded with soft clear skin with the addition of cold pressed safflower oil in your diet each day – here are some simple ways to incorporate it

Green leaf salad dressing ( store in a jar and use as required )

one third cup apple cider vinegar
2 thirds of a cup of cold pressed safflower oil
one clove garlic ( crushed )
half teaspoon honey
half teaspoon dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Using a mortar and pestle crush garlic clove with a pinch of sea salt. Add honey and mustard and mix well. Add vinegar and mix. Add cold pressed safflower oil. Add pepper to taste.
For best results allow to stand for 30 mins before serving on a salad.

Asian style salad dressing ( avoid the chilli if your skin is red or feels sensitive )

1 teaspoon sugar or palm sugar
juice of one large or 2 small limes
1 small chilli
1 clove garlic
1 small knob of ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce ( to taste )
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons coriander chopped.

Crush garlic, chilli, ginger in mortar and pestle with sugar. Add lime juice, safflower and sesame oil, and fish sauce to taste (this is the salty element, so add as required)
Roughly chop fresh washed coriander and mix through.

This is a versatile sauce – can be used as a dipping sauce or it is great added to a vermicelli rice noodle dish where you have lightly blanched vegetables and fish or meat of choice mixed through with fresh spring onions and bean sprouts. A sprinkle of chopped roasted peanuts adds a lovely crunch.

Yoghurt and fruit smoothie.

1 banana
1 egg
1 cup of pineapple, apple or mango juice ( not orange juice )
1 tablespoon safflower oil
1 generous tablespoon of plain or vanilla yoghurt

Blend all together and  serve – makes a great breakfast drink when time is precious
