Spring Salad With Mustard Tarragon Dressing

Spring is finally here, and here is a wonderful, fresh-tasting Spring salad to celebrate. The best part of this salad is the subtle flavor of the mustard-tarragon dressing. Make a little extra dressing, store it in your refrigerator, and you can use it as a healthy addition to virtually any salad.

Packed full of healthy nutrients and low in carbohydrates, this recipe uses only ingredients that are safe for a Candida diet. It’s a perfect dish to eat during the early phases of the diet. You can eat it alone as a salad, or pair it with some wild salmon or grilled steak. Radish has the added advantage of having antifungal properties too.

One of the keys to following the Candida diet successfully is to find innovative, tasty ways to eat vegetables. This might be difficult or easy, depending on your diet up to this point. Salad dressings like this, which are far healthier than sugary, store-bought dressings, will make any selection of vegetables tasty and appetizing.
