Kathi's Hay Fever Salad Dressing

Nearly forgot that I posted the hay fever salad dressing last year. Time to use it again!

Wanted to share one new observation as well: I have made a connection between my long standing hay fever (which is not so bad as when I younger--since I cleaned up my diet--gluten-free, only cultured dairy etc) and food sensitivities! During hay fever season, if I eat apples or peanuts (major foodstuffs of my childhood), itchy sinus/sneezing hayfever symptoms set in after just a few minutes. I looked up some research about this and it turns out that there are apple allergens that closely resemble tree pollens. so...a second suggestion to hayfever sufferers beyond using my hayfever-busting salad dressing recipe would be to be extra careful with your diet.

Kathi's Hay Fever Salad Dressing

Faced with sudden and strong symptoms from tree pollen yesterday (sneezing, itchy throat, itchy eyes), I tried a concoction based on several of the currently posted hay fever remedies. The concoction includes turmeric, local honey, ACV, and olive oil. I had no problem with bad taste from the turmeric since it was mixed with honey. Two shots of this about 3 hours apart, and I had no need to resort to my backup OTC that makes me feel drowsy and drugged. Have taken two more shots today, one added to my lunch salad as a dressing! I'm so glad to be able to stay "clear headed" in this spring allergy season!

The recipe is:

~ 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
~1 TBSP local-sourced honey
~1 TBSP Olive Oil
~1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
~1 TBSP water

Mix in jar with lid by shaking vigorously, or use a whisk (I love my battery operated milk frother for tasks like this).
