132+ Delicious Salads, Dressings And Dips

Gabrielle Raiz is an author, a keen foodie and health-loving educator who perhaps surprisingly started her working life as a dentist. She has a knack for making things practical and understandable and has a flexible approach to her food and her yoga. 

Gabrielle has recently expanded her food writing to publish 2 top selling books "Green Smoothie Magic" and "132+ Delicious Salads, Dressings and Dips". All of her recipes are fuss-free adaptable recipes which most importantly use easy to find ingredients that anyone can make. Some embody beautiful simplicity of 1 or 2 ingredients while others are marvellously complex, but never hard to make! 

Gabrielle's talent as an author was crystallized through much online writing and of course with the publishing of her highly successful first book: "Hot Yoga MasterClass" (which is now finally, recently available on Amazon). 

Her hallmark style has an easy, intelligent and conversational tone with a touch of humor! In both her currently chosen fields (!) of nutrition and yoga she has built a solid reputation for creating products of beauty and above all, quality. "What you eat and how you move are 2 fields in which being mindful and present are vital", Gabrielle says. "I love that I help people do both!" 

As the "Hot Yoga Doctor" she helps tens of thousands of people every month in every corner of the planet improve their yoga practices by demystifying all things yoga, hot yoga and Bikram Yoga™. 

Something you may not know about Gabrielle (and rather unusual for a yoga instructor) is that she used to race motorcycles! But as she's been known to say "the last time I rode a motorbike was to go and buy a pregnancy testing kit". Her daughter is now 10!

I am a college student and the Freshman 15 hit me hard and I've continued to gain weight for the past year. I am DESPERATE to lose weight before I graduate and start applying for jobs, so I began looking at recipes for healthy eating. I found this book and am truly in love. I have found a great way to eat more salads and low calorie foods and am already down 5 pounds since beginning. More than that, this book helps you with your lifestyle choices and keeps you focused on your goals. Another book that had also helped me on this weight loss endeavor is 50 Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes: 50 Simple and Healthy Recipes for Slow Cooked Meals. I am a Southern girl and grew up with my mom cooking in a slow cooker often, so it was nice to eat some of these comfort foods and still stay on track. And the best part is, when I come home from a busy day of class and work, dinner is already made! I would definitely recommend both of these books to those who are looking for weight loss that is healthy!

I am a 51 year old female who is prediabetic and need to eat more healthy. This book is salad magic. Gabrielle includes great tips and information. The recipes are simple and can be customized with the variations and options suggested as well as recommended salad dressings to make, included in the book. I can now take the boring salads that I make and turn them into healthy meals. This book as well as Gabrielle's Green Smoothie Magic book has given me the knowledge and inspiration to eat healthier and improve my health.

I am a 48 year old, vegan, mother of 3 teens that aren't (vegan)! Her Hot Yoga Masterclass changed my yoga practice and my life with insightful tweeks to my yoga practice with great DVD's and a beautifully illustrated book that explains the do's and don'ts of hot yoga in more detail for a successful practice. Her Green Smoothie book gave interesting and great tasting options for smoothies that aren't the same old leafy greens, and the recipes are not always green! Now, Gabrielle does it again with great ideas for how to jump start your salads! It has suggestions on how to make more interesting salads than just plain greens and the usual toppings. There are also salad recipes that don't include leafy greens. There are REALLY great ideas for kids that have a tough time with veggies, like mine. These wonderful recipes will definitely make more interesting options and there are a lot of vegetables mentioned that don't get the attention they deserve:-). This book is easy to follow and written with Gabrielle's great sense of humor I can't wait to dig in!!
