Notes

Many years ago Bryan and I did an 8 week Liver Cleansing Diet ... the one made famous by Dr Sandra Cabot. It was quite a challenge to be honest, but we made it. In fact Bryan had to stop early because he lost too much weight (don't you hate that!), but I finished the 8 weeks feeling pretty good (and not losing any weight ... hate that even more!!!!!) and knowing that I had given my little liver a much needed break.
Since then the single recipe that I have held on to, and still make, is the salad dressing ... it is delicious, and people often ask me what I have used to dress my salad. But this dressing is not only fantastic on a salad, I have also drizzled it over slow cooked beef fillet that I serve at room temperature, sliced and presented on a platter ready for people to help themselves too ... if doing this sprinkle over freshly chopped herbs of choice as well (Italian parsley is a given), and I promise you it will go down a treat.
So this recipe is originally from the Liver Cleansing Diet that I have adapted slightly to cater for my own taste.
