"Green sauce"

Equilibrio Green Sauce


This is a delicious and nutrient-dense vinaigrette/salad dressing/sauce/dip we've adapted from another recipe. It also works really well as a topping for any fish, poultry, or pork and can be thickened with the addition of egg yolks and more avocados. The sauce will keep well for a week or so, but to keep longer, be sure to add a thin layer of olive oil over the top to keep from oxidizing too much.

Tools: A good food processor (a good blender would work too- we use our vita-mix).

Ingredients: Puree the following in a food processor with a small amount of oil:

1/2 cup onion
3 cloves garlic
1-2 inch piece of ginger root, peeled and minced first.
Process.

Now add:
1 large avocado (about 1 cup)
2 cups cilantro tops (some stem is ok)
1 cup parsley tops (some stem is ok) flat leaf/Italian seems to work best.
We often add 1 bunch of basil as well (try baby bok-choy or arugula for variations) (might need to add a bit more oil or even water at the end to help get the consistency you want)
Puree in the processor until well chopped; It should be like a paste at this point.

Then add:
1/2 cup lemon juice or rice vinegar (meyers are our fave) *
1-2 tablespoons of raw honey or coconut sugar (bit of stevia and orange juice works too)**
Sea salt and pepper to taste.

Pulse the processor to fully combine, now with processor running, drizzle in:
1-2 ounces of EV olive oil
1 ounce sesame oil

*If on an antifungal/anti-yeast diet, be sure to use only lemons or apple cider.
**On an anti-fungal protocol, stevia is the preferred sweetener; small amounts of honey are usually tolerated.

Welcome

Equilibrio Wellness was conceived with the intention of having a positive impact on the health of the community in which we live.

We live in a hyper-capitalistic society based on un-informed consumption, individualism, and domination over nature. This post-modern, techno-dependent culture leaves us disconnected to ourselves, one another, and the earth. The result is dis-ease of the person and the culture as a whole.

Now, with public health in the public’s eye more than ever, Equilibrio’s goal of educating, inspiring, and empowering our community to lead balanced lives full of vitality, love, and connection, is an alternative to the status quo of consumption, individualism and war.

We hope to break the cycle of dis-ease and give the community a space of ease. Providing a place to get educated on proper nutrition, lifestyle, exercise and stress management. A place to connect with: ourselves, one another, and our earth.
