Notes
I'm a huge dressing, sauce person. Despite my love for raw and cooked vegetables, every dish needs a unique and fabulous dressing or sauce. Because I keep it healthy, I avoid cooking with any oils.
Instead, I try to create unique dressings from whole foods without adding oils, sugar, and other unhealthy ingredients.
