Expert Tips

Although high in calories and fat, nuts provide lots of vitamin E. We need vitamin E as a protective agent against cell damage. The key is just not to go nuts with nuts!

To toast nuts, cook them in an ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until nuts are golden brown and you can smell the toasted aroma.

Save time (and a dirty bowl) by using purchased reduced-calorie blue cheese dressing.

    Awesome,quick Salad & dressing! I love Blue Cheese dressing and this is a really great, quick version that you can play with. And I love using Greek Yogurt. The salad is adaptable too, add or subtract whatever you like or have on hand.
