Getting excited for my cookbook! Want a teaser recipe?

Well, I did it. I promised the world on a networking podcast this morning that I would share a few of the recipes that are going to be in the cookbook that I am writing. And as exciting as that is, I am also a little terrified... what if people don't like them as much as I do??

Well, I searched through my index of recipes and found one that I just KNOW you all will love... and it might just become one of your favourites too. I love this one because it is full of healthy fats and tons of flavour. Plus, nutrients? So many! Healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients... it doesn't get much better than this.

I think that this dressing is just fabulous on top of some mixed greens and colourful veggies, like sweet peppers, red or green onions, pomegranate seeds and turmeric. Enjoy!

(And stay tuned for the cookbook... hoping to finish it up and FINALLY get it published by the end of this year!)
