It’s time to give up the bottle! Not the wine bottle… that’s a pleasure you should enjoy in moderation (as long as it’s organic). I’m talking about bottled salad dressing. Almost every brand is made with vegetable and seed oils, rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation… and ultimately cancer and heart disease.

But not to worry… with just one drizzle of this bright vinaigrette, you’ll gladly put the bottle in your past.

This savory comfort food provides 96% of the recommended daily allowance of niacin. This B vitamin “vasodilator” increases blood flow by widening the blood vessels, particularly the capillaries. And if you’re looking to detoxify, this is a really good thing.

That’s because tiny blood vessels are of the greatest value in reaching your fatty tissues, where most toxins are stored in your body. So open wide and enjoy this naturally detoxifying dish.

I first experienced this vegetable salad at one of my favorite local healthy eateries and was able torecreate it. Although this refreshing salad uses mostly canned ingredients, it’s surprisingly high in nutrients and is a welcome addition to any summer meal.

Would you like to boost your energy levels and improve your immune system? Then get more vitamin B6 in your diet. This nutrient is essential for producing hemoglobin, the compound in red blood cells which carries oxygen to the tissues of your body. It also supports the creation of lymphocytes — the white blood cells that are vital to your body’s immunity.¹

And each serving of this Mediterranean-inspired mahi dish provides 44% of your recommended daily allowance of B6.

Kohlrabi, a turnip-like member of the cabbage family is often overlooked at the grocery store due to its unfamiliar and unusual appearance. But this delicious and versatile veggie contains a wealth of nutrients that you won’t want to miss. As a cabbage family member, it’s a potent cancer fighter, and its flavor is sure to please your palate. Try it roasted as in this recipe and you’ll be hooked! It’s also great stir-fried and can be eaten raw with or without a dip. When buying kohlrabi, be sure to choose smaller-sized vegetables as the older, larger kohlrabi tend to be tough and woody.

This meaty, Argentine-inspired salad will satisfy the biggest beef fan. And it may help guard against breast cancer too. That’s because grass-fed beef is a rich source of a powerful fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). In a recent study, women getting the most CLA in their diet had a 60% lower risk of breast cancer than women getting the least.¹ Each serving of this simple salad provides approximately 2.5 grams, or 50% of the daily requirement for CLA.
