Briannas's Himalayan Salt-Block Pickled Zucchini

1 salt block
    (Contact Brianna for info on salt block)

1 zucchini

1 tablespoon cane sugar

1 tablespoon cider vinegar (you can also use champagne)

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dry dill

A few grinds of black pepper

Slice the zucchini in 1/4-inch thick slices. Don't make them thinner or they will become to salty.

Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to make sure the sugar completely dissolves. Add the zucchini to the bowl and stir to coat.

Let the excess liquid drip off of the zucchini then arrange them on the Himalayan pink salt block. Reserve the remaining oil/vinegar mixture.

Let the zucchini sit for 10 minutes on the block, then turn them over and let them sit for an additional 10 minutes.

You can taste one now and assess the level of saltiness. If you want them saltier, leave them on the block for a few minutes longer. Pat the zucchini dry on both sides with paper towels.

Arrange the zucchini on a plate or serve right away right on the salt block. Drizzle with some of the reserved vinegar and oil mixture and garnish with dill.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
