How to Make a Raw, Dairy-Free, Dill Cheese Dressing

Posted by Dr. Ben Kim on Feb 17, 2015
Healthy Dressings

I've long maintained that pasteurized and homogenized dairy products should be avoided whenever possible, as regular intake of cooked casein in dairy is associated with a number of health challenges, the most common of which are chronic ear infections, nasal congestion, acne, eczema, a variety of autoimmune illnesses, and even cancer.

Sunflower Dill Sauce

If you're like me and long for the texture and flavor of cheese on occasion, I hope that you give the following recipe for raw, dairy-free dill cheese a try. In the proportions listed, this recipe comes out as more of a cheese dressing; if you prefer it thicker and richer, start with less water when you blend and adjust if necessary by adding small amounts of water.

Red beets are right at the top my list of foods that everyone should aim to eat at least a few times a week. Per ounce, few other foods are as dense in nutrients that prevent cardiovascular disease, all types of cancer, and neurological damage associated with high homocysteine levels.

Red beets are especially rich in folate, which is why they are useful for lowering blood homocysteine and reducing risk of birth defects.

If you have a problem with constipation, red beets and their green tops are likely to provide significant relief. Both are rich in fiber that can help keep waste materials moving through your gastrointestinal tract at a healthy pace. Read more

Who doesn't enjoy creamy sauce over noodles and crisply cooked veggies? The problem with dairy-based cream sauces is that they are rich in casein, the animal protein that T. Colin Campbell of The China Study has linked with increased risk of cancer.

Thankfully, you can make a dairy-free cream sauce that has lovely flavour and texture and can lower your risk of all types of cancer.

Creamy Cauliflower Sauce over Zucchini

The key ingredient is cauliflower, one of nature's best sources of indole-3-carbinol, a phytonutrient that stimulates cellular detoxification. Indole-3-carbinol also has the ability to prevent estrogen dominance, which makes cauliflower an excellent food choice for cancer prevention, particularly breast cancer. Read more

We had it easy with our firstborn - he was eating handfuls of lightly braised Shanghai bok choy before he turned 2. So it furrowed our brows some to discover that vegetables were not our second son's thing. We started blending our green food powder in with his smoothies from the time he could sip from a straw, but we were still eager to see him eating substantial portions of freshly cooked green vegetables.
