A few days ago my husband and I banded together and did a deep clean of the fridge. Super deep. My husband even removed and cleaned every piece of glass. I’m never that committed when I clean the fridge. It hasn’t been this clean since we bought it. Teamwork is good.
Because of our whole-food, clean-food life, our fridge is FULL of glass canning jars…all filled with un-canned food: jars of homemade salad dressing, fermented veggies, sauces, dips, jams, meat drippings, and more. I sorted, disposed and condensed jar after jar. When the hours of sorting and cleaning were done, I was left with multiple jars of sauerkraut and pickle juice. l poured them all into one big container and there was multiple quarts worth of juice.
That healing, probiotic liquid is much too precious to toss, but what can you do with it all if you don’t want to chug it? Salad dressing! Fermented juice makes a great apple cider vinegar replacement in salad dressing recipes and is a lot milder, so you can reduce the amount of compensating ingredients (like honey). I went to work and made quarts and quarts of salad dressing and completely filled my fridge back up with glass canning jars. But I won’t need to make salad dressing again for months. Now we can have any variety of salad we want in a flash.
Here are two of the probiotic recipes I whipped up for you to try. It’s easy to love your salad even more and heal your gut at the same time!
