Serves 4

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free if modified

Ingredients

2 teaspoons avocado oil

2 tablespoons Chosen Foods Caesar Dressing

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (see note)

TIP OF THE WEEK

Among a million known ways of making your meals healthier, you can at least do the minimum. Limit consumption of unhealthy fats, sugars and salt. Instead include more vegetables, fruit, grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy in your cooking.

Eating healthy does not have to come to giving up all of your favourites. Recipes can be adapted easily to provide a healthier alternative. A non-stick cookware, for instance, can be used to reduce the need for cooking oil. Another great idea is to steam or microwave vegetables instead of boiling them to keep valuable nutrition. Give preference to lean meats and reduced-fat dairy products and stay away from processed foods to minimize hidden fats. Nuts, seeds, fish, soy, olives and avocado are all healthier options because they include the essential long-chain fatty acids and these fats are accompanied by other good nutrients.
