Based on the scientifically proven eating strategy that has enabled millions to burn off body fat, lose weight, boost energy, and become abundantly healthy, Healthy Sauces, Dressings and Toppings offers easy-to-prepare recipes and an almost infinite number of uses. Bring incredible flavor to basic good food while adding the important healthful benefits, including Omega-3 fats, powerful antioxidants, and countless other important nutrients lacking in most plain meals.
