1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Notes

Spinach, wild salmon, blueberries, walnuts, avocado, olive oil and turmeric have been shown to benefit the brain.

Substitute avocado oil for olive oil.

Substitute 1.5 tbsp bottled lemon for 1/2 raw lemon.

Buy wild salmon in a can with bones and skin already removed. Wild salmon has more omega 3 fatty acids and more minerals than farmed salmon. Farmed salmon may contain more contaminants than wild salmon.
