Who needs the salad when the dressings are usually enough to add all the fat you thought you were avoiding back into your meal? Well, there's good news for those of us who want to get the maximum benefit from our greens without sacrificing taste: flaxseed oil. It's a mild, nutty flavoring that's delicious without being overpowering. And of course, we can't forget that it's a powerful source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for the heart and the skin.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone and other dermatologists all agree with you. They also say that you can mix the flaxseed oil --which should always be refrigerated -- with olive oil, if you desire a more traditional tasting dressing. Try it mixed with lemon and lime juice, as NYC esthetician Susan Ciminelli recommends! Also, you HAVE to try
