Tips about flax seed oil:
• It should always be kept in the refrigerator in a dark bottle to maintain freshness.
• Never cook with flax oil or heat it on the stove or in the microwave. — this destroys the benefits of the oil.
• As the oil sits over time it loses its freshness, smelling and tasting stronger.
Fruit Smoothie
1/2 banana

Dill Dressing
1/3 cup minced fresh dill
1/4 cup cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 & 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon honey or rice syrup

In a bowl or blender mix everything except the flax oil. Trickle the oil in slowly while blending or whisking vigorously, until the dressing is thick and smooth.
Keep extra dressing refrigerated in a dark bottle for later use.
