Avocado Salmon & Kale Salad

This outstanding salad is loaded with flavor and packed with nutrient-rich ingredients. Baking the salmon for the recipe is easy, but you can also use leftover grilled or poached salmon. Find baby kale in the packaged salad greens section.

Ingredients

3/4 lb salmon fillet

1 avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped, divided

2 tbsp lemon juice

6 cups baby kale

2 tbsp chopped pickled jalape�o peppers, or to taste

The unique protein and amino acid composition of salmon is often overlooked in its nutritional profile. Salmon contains short protein molecules called peptides that have been shown to be bioactive and may have important anti-inflammatory properties. Salmon also provides important amounts of the antioxidant amino acid taurine. Salmon is an excellent source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and immune-supportive selenium. It is also a very good source of muscle-building protein and heart-healthy niacin and vitamin B12. Additionally, it is a good source of energy-producing phosphorus, vitamin B6, and magnesium.

Method

Preheat the oven to 400�F. Line a small baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange salmon on the pan, skin-side down, and bake until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly, remove and discard skin, flake flesh and set aside.

While salmon is baking, mash half of the avocado with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl until you have a chunky dressing. Add kale and toss very well, making sure all leaves are coated.

Divide kale among serving plates. Top with flaked salmon and remaining avocado. Sprinkle with jalape�os and serve.

Note: If using leftover cooked salmon, you'll need about 2 cups flaked cooked fish

Kale provides an excellent source of vitamins B6 and C, carotenes, and manganese. It is also a very good source of vitamins B1, B2, and E, fiber, iron, copper, and calcium. Kale has almost three times as much calcium as phosphorus. This is a beneficial ratio because high phosphorus consumption has been linked to osteoporosis since it reduces the utilization and promotes the excretion of calcium. Kale and collard greens exhibit the same anticancer properties as other members of the cabbage family.

Feta & Parmesan Zucchini Bake Recipe!

 

(recipe adapted from Kalyn's Kitchen)

6-7 medium zucchini or yellow summer squash

2 Tb olive oil

2 Tb minced garlic

2 tsp dried thyme

4 eggs

2/3 C light sour cream

1 C crumbled feta cheese

1/2 C fresh parmesan cheese

2 Tb lemon juice

salt and pepper

 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a large casserole dish with nonstick spray.

2. Slice the squash into 1/4" slices. If they are larger squash, cut them down the middle before slicing. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the squash, garlic and thyme. Saute and stir just until the squash is starting to soften slightly. Don't cook too long or it will be mushy after it bakes in the oven. Remove from the heat.

3. Beat together the eggs, sour cream, cheeses and lemon juice in a medium sized bowl. Place half of the squash into the bottom of the casserole. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper (remember the cheeses are salty!) then spread 1/2 of the egg mixture over the top. Repeat with remaining squash and egg mixture.

4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling and slightly set. Serve hot.

Chia Seeds - Have you heard about their Benifits?

Anti-Inflammatory and Cleansing Benefits:

Chia seeds are a true superfood. Oddly, they are members of the mint family but they taste totally neutral. This makes them a very versatile food. Chia seeds have been used in ancient cultures for many medicinal purposes such as helping to ease joint pain and digestive issues.

Chia seeds are filled with omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids.

Omega 3 fatty acids are one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in nature, as well as being great for the brain. Did you know that Chia seeds contain even more omega three fatty acids by weight than salmon does? These tiny seeds are also a complete protein, meaning that they contain all 8 essential amino acids that your body cannot synthesize on its own, and must get from food.

Chia seeds are able to absorb 9 time their own volume in water.

This ability causes them to help your own body retain needed water and electrolytes. You can use them in place of your morning oatmeal by adding a few tbsp. of Chia seeds to almond, hemp or coconut milk and letting it stand for 15-2 minutes, to give the chia seeds time to absorb the liquid. You can then throw in some fresh or dried berries for a quick cereal.

Chia seeds help to clean out the digestive tract.

They contain high amounts of both soluble and insoluble fibre, as well as drawing water to themselves. This adds bulk and water to the stools, which is important for keeping your system clean and clear. Chia seeds will also help your body absorb the fat soluble vitamins A, C, E and K, which need fat in order to be properly utilized by the body. Chia seeds are great for helping to keep blood sugar levels stable as well as binding to cholesterol and helping to usher it out of the body.

What are some other benefits of eating Chia?

• Provides energy

• Boosts strength

• Bolsters endurance

• Levels blood sugar

• Induces weight loss

• Aids intestinal regularity

Chia slows the impact of sugars on the system, if eaten together. Chia gel creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, which slows the conversion of carbs into sugar. That means the energy from the food is released steadily, resulting in more endurance. This is clearly of great benefit to diabetics in particular.

Try this for a quick and filling Breakfast:

3 tablespoons Chia Seeds

1/2 cup Vanilla Almond milk (Rice, Coconut or plain Almond)

1 tsp Agave

handful of Granola

Fresh fruits

Sprinkle cinnamon

splash of Vanilla flavoring

Instructions:

Add Chia seeds to a bowl with the Almond milk and stir briskly until slightly thickened. Add all other ingredients and enjoy!

Quinoa - What is it Really?

What is quinoa?   (pronounced Keen-wah)

While quinoa is usually considered to be a whole grain, it is actually a seed, but can be prepared like whole grains such as rice or barley. Quinoa takes less time to cook than other whole grains � just 10 to 15 minutes. It tastes great on its own, unlike other grains such as millet or teff. Add a bit of olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice and - yum! Of all the whole grains, quinoa has the highest protein content, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Quinoa is a gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole grain, is kosher for Passover, and is almost always organic.
