Avoid: Keto Nut Granola in the Strawberry Flavor
Posted on August 31 by Heather Duquette-Wolf

In a recent post, I shared a new keto nut granola that I liked in flavors cinnamon, blueberry and chocolate. I saw a new flavor, strawberry. Right before I purchased it, something told me to read the ingredient list. I was surprised that the strawberry flavor has TWO artificial sweeteners that the other flavors do not. LESSON: always read ingredient lists! I was disappointed to see this and baffled as to why they would ruin an other wise healthy product. 
— A healthy, quick, and easy homemade salad dressing with all the flavors of a mojito! Made with lime juice, honey, and fresh chopped mint.
Ingredients
3/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice and zest from 3 limes (about 1/2 cup juice, 2 tablespoons zest)
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a jar.
Top with tightly fitting lid, and shake to combine.
Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
**Aside from green salads, I also use this dressing as a marinade for chicken or shrimp or tossed with grilled or roasted vegetables. You can adjust the lime or honey amount to fit you taste buds....
