Several people from the Facebook page mentioned that they could use some different ideas for salad dressings to help them on the yeast free Candida Diet so I wanted to post a couple of my favorites.

One of the tricks I enjoy is using guacamole on my salad to change things up – pair this with a black bean salsa for a delicious southwestern salad.  You can also use guacamole in place of mayo for sandwiches or as a dip for your favorite veggies.

Guacamole

- 1 avocado, mashed with a fork or hand mixer
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp onion powder
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder

Combine avocado with tomato, green onion, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Use as a dip, dressing or garnish.

Note: Guacamole is best served immediately as avocado will start to brown once cut.

Another favorite yeast free salad dressing is the classic Italian below:

Italian Salad Dressing

- 1/2 c light olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh basil, finely chopped
- 2 tsp fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt

In a sealable container, mix the olive oil, parsley, basil, oregano, green onions and salt. Marinate in fridge and serve over veggies or your salad of choice. Keep refrigerated.

If you find yourself getting in a rut, check out the recipe below that you can use in lots of different ways to add some variety to your yeast free diet!

Black Bean Salsa

- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 c frozen white corn, thawed
- 1/2 c red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 green onion, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt

In a large bowl combine beans with corn, red pepper, cilantro, green onion and salt. Serve with yeast diet    approved chips, or as a garnish for a salad, soup or eggs.

*If you are avoiding corn simply leave it out – the recipe still works fine without it!

Hope you enjoy!

As you prepare to get started on the Candida Diet yeast cleanse it is VERY IMPORTANT to have a plan in place for meals BEFORE getting started.  This is the first of the two most important parts of preparing for the yeast free diet (the other I will tell you about in the next post).

To help you with your meal planning for the Candida Diet, I have attached the template I use to organize my meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for each day I am on the diet (as my gift to you).

Grab the Meal Planning Template Here

Step #1 – you will need to have at least two to three weeks worth of recipes to plug into the template.

Where to Find Yeast Free Recipes:

-  You can find and print individual yeast free recipes from various sites online.

-  You can go through your own recipes and adjust the ingredients to fit the yeast free diet guidelines.

-  Or, if you want to save some time you can grab a copy of my Yeast Diet Cookbook & Meal Planning Guide with 250 delicious yeast free recipes, tools and tips specifically designed for the Candida Diet.

Whatever you do please don’t skip this planning step.

Step#2 – simply enter in the meal on the corresponding day and then relax knowing you won’t suffer a mid-diet meltdown from lack of planning.

Step#3 – finally, use your meal planning list to go shopping this week and make sure you have the ingredients you need to prepare the meals you are planning.

Be on the lookout for the next (and last) planning step in preparation for the cleanse.

Health and blessings,
