Garlicky Green Dressing

Full of garlic and vitamin C, this dressing can make even the most simple meal or snack a flavorful immune builder. Garlic is an essential staple in my kitchen as a powerful builder of immune resilience and antimicrobial herb. It can help prevent infections such as the common cold and flu, as well as infections of the digestive tract. The volatile oils in garlic are excreted through the lungs, making it especially beneficial for infections of the respiratory system.
