Lime Jalapeno Salad Dressing

This dressing is refreshingly zesty. Use it on a salad that accompanies a similaryly spicy meal. I served this one evening with pulled pork tacos.

Ingredients:

zest of one lime
2 Tbs lime juice (juice of one lime)
1 Tbs jalapeno jelly
3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
a grind of sea salt
several grinds of pepper

Directions: Mix all ingredients together in a jar. Shake just before serving.

Welcome to Stealth Cooking!

Stealth cooking started out over 30 years ago. I was a vegetarian who married a meat and potatoes man. Over time, I've added small amounts of meat to my veggie diet, and lots of veggies to the meat-based diet. How? By stealthy cooking!

Using vegetables when unexpected, changing proportions on the plate, preparing foods in ways that are delicious enough for any palate! Plus, using small amounts of flavorful meats and spices so the taste for meat is fulfilled.

I was also concerned about my family's health. My husband had high cholesterol and high blood pressure. The kids were healthy, but I wanted them to stay that way! Initially, no one was excited about eating "healthy". They thought healthy food would taste bad.

So, I started out stealthy. I'd sneak healthy tidbits into meals. I'd replace small amounts of foods with healthier choices. Now, 30 years later, many meals are vegetable or grain based. We eat less fat, less salt, less sugar, no transfats, and still enjoy every meal. My husbands cholesterol and blood pressure are in the healthy range. The kids are still in a healthy weight range and live healthy life styles. Amazingly, everyone likes the food!

I've been encouraged to share my secrets, and my recipes ... so here they are! Look for stealthy cooking tips at the end of every recipe.
