A Canyon Ranch Spa Guest Favorite!
Have you ever dreamt of spending a week at Canyon Ranch Spa? I know I have ever since I saw Oprah do a show from there.
Oh yeah, baby! This girl has a recurring dream pampering eating healthy gourmet food swimming in beautiful pools taking phenomenal hikes you get the idea! Did I mention massages? Canyon Ranch Spa sings to my soul!
Well, I cant offer you all that, but I can offer you this phenomenal fat-free salad dressing that has been a guest favorite at Canyon Ranch for ov3er 25 years.
It was first published in a book called Jet Fuel, The New Food Strategy for the High Performance Person, published in 1984. I L-O-V-E this salad dressing and Ive discovered that the flavor is better if the combination is made the day before you plan to use it, allowing the flavors to marry.
