"One of my favorite Inside Out Diet recipes is the Maui-terranean Salad with Herbed Chicken. It has so many wonderful, complementary flavors. Sabra Ricci, the chef who created the recipes for the book, lives in beautiful Maui and has many celebrity clients who go out there for rest and relaxation. Eating this salad takes me there, even though I'm in the chilly northeast."
