Classic vinaigrette dressing -- CBD version!

Since the vinaigrette dressing will be the base dressing for a couple of the salads mentioned today, we’re going to cover a simple recipe to make the dressing itself.

This is a nice and light salad dressing that’s guilt free because it’s not packed with bad fats you’d find in a mayo based dressing.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup of Potli CBD Olive Oil
• 3 tablespoons of Vinegar of choice (red wine, balsamic, white wine, or even our cbd apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon of Potli Feel Good CBD Honey 
• Salt and pepper to taste (about a tablespoon of each)
• 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
• 2 cloves of minced garlic

Pour all the ingredients into a saucepan or measuring cup and whisk vigorously. This mixture stays good for about a week. Depending on the type of vinegar you use you’ll get different types of vinaigrettes. This is an amazing take on classic vinaigrette that has a triumvirate of 3 CBD infused ingredients.

CBD Lemon and olive oil dressing

Ingredients:

• 4-6 cloves of garlic
• Salt and pepper to taste (we recommend about 1 tablespoon of each, but season to your liking)
• ½ a cup of our Potli CBD Olive Oil
• 1 cup of lemon juice

From here simply put all the ingredients into a jar or covered tupperware and shake vigorously. Viola! You have a tasty and delicious CBD infused dressing you can use on your salad. Cooking with CBD can be that simple with the right creativity!

CBD Salad Ideas

• CBD Infused Greek Salad
• Salmon Cesar Salad with CBD croutons
• Cobb Salad with CBD Vinaigrette
• Kale and Quinoa CBD Salad
• Mozzarella Caprese CBD Salad

One big benefit of choosing salad to add cbd to is that salads are served cold so you don’t have to worry about losing potency when heating the food up. Although you can preserve the potency of cbd olive oil by cooking your food at a low to medium temperature, that’s not going to be a concern for these recipes.

Conclusion

We think that there doesn’t have to be a stigma around CBD, it’s not psychoactive and doesn’t get you high. It has a plethora of benefits from pain relief, to sleep aid, to helping chronic illnesses.

That aside, we hope this article showed you that cooking with cannaoil can be a blast and is a lot more tasty than just dabbing CBD oil on your tongue and calling it a day.
