Lip-smacking lime dressing

If you read my post about vitamin C and, like me, are looking for ways to increase your daily intake, try this amazingly gorgeous lime, ginger and chilli dressing. So often dressings contain some form of dairy, it's great to have one that's completely dairy free. And it's so tasty you can't believe it's so good for you!!
The combination of fresh lime, ginger and chilli is so fresh and wonderfully healthy that it puts a smile on your face, and in your belly! Lime is packed full of vitamin C and flavonoids which act as anti-oxidants and also have antibiotic and anti-carcinogenic properties. It's great for the digestion, stimulating the release of digestive juices as well as aiding the whole digestive process.
Ginger has fabulous medicinal properties, and the good news is you only need a little to get the benefits. It also works on the digestive system, particularly on reducing gas! It has many anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and is particularly good for joint pains. It's also anti-carcinogenic and boosts your immunity - amazing properties in such an ordinary looking root.
Finally, chilli is also packed with vitamin C, A and B complex and adds a fiery kick to this zingy dressing.
This dressing works brilliantly in Thai style salads, with baked salmon, or any dish that can handle a fresh, sharp dressing - in this case with roasted sweet potato slices and watercress - a seriously delicious, nutrient-packed lunch. All dairy free but definitely not taste free!
Lime, ginger and chilli dressing

Juice of one large lime
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
salt
2 teaspoons agave syrup*
Mix all the ingredients together and taste - adjust the flavours accordingly before pouring over your dish of choice and enjoy!

*I used agave syrup to make this dressing vegan, but runny honey can be used instead, just check how strong the flavour is before using too much!
