This was such a light and amazing dinner! Grilled salmon skewers in a lemon and summer savory marinade, lightly steamed cauli-rice with parsley and wilted spinach. I made these skewers for the first time on vacation this summer up at our cottage and it also happens to fit perfectly into the 21 Day Sugar Detox Diet and Autoimmune Protocol.
Salmon and dill go hand and hand! This dill dipping sauce pairs perfectly! I have an amazing Creamy Dill Dressing on the blog already, but I wanted to make a dip compliant with the Autoimmune Protocol; so instead of using hemp hearts I used the cream from full fat coconut milk.
I am almost finished my 21 days on the sugar detox and I feel great! No energy drop during the day, no mood swings, and I have already lost 8lbs with 1 week still to go. I also feel so much less “puffy”, my husband complimenting how much slimmer my face looks these days.
