this sounds so good... try adding sum cherry tomatoes to the salad also... but did you know you can use this dressing on bbq! it gives the most incredible flavor! try thinly slicing some beef and cook over charcol until cooked then wrap in a lettuce leaf and dip in wasabi sauce! Yummy

Fed up with all the hype and the fact you are still trying to lose weight? Read on.
