Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ cup cold water
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder*
  • ½ packet powdered stevia**
  • 1 handful fresh basil
  • 1 clove fresh garlic***

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the garlic and basil.  

  2. Add garlic and basil into a blender or food processor.

  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until they are combined and have become a liquid consistency. You may need to add a little more water to get the dressing to your preferred thickness.

Recipe Notes

*Not all onion powders are safe. Check the ingredients and avoid anything contain sugar, starches, oils, preservatives, and words ending in -ose, -tol, or -dextrin.

**When choosing the stevia for this recipe... many store-bought brands of stevia are stevia 'blends'. Only 'pure' stevia is recommended for Phase 2 of the HCG Diet. SweetLeaf® stevia is the brand we recommend and it's allowed in any quantity. If you do not have SweetLeaf® stevia, look at the ingredients and if you see any words ending in -ose, -tol, or -dextrin, avoid using that type of stevia during Phase 2 of the HCG Diet. ***You should always purchase fresh garlic for the best possible weight loss.
