Clean Eating

Your brain functions best when eating high quality foods that contain lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Feeding the body healthy fresh produce protects it from oxidative stress. Studies have shown that diets high in refined sugars may result in impaired brain function, also aggravating symptoms of mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Make this recipe now with fresh Autumn produce

So in this dish, I’m taking a whole bunch of seasonal veggies, roasting them up, adding some salty smoked salmon, briny olives, fresh dill, and tossing it all with a a tangy, slightly sweet champagne vinaigrette! I’m serving the whole mess on top of basil and garlic aioli, then sprinkling some fresh herbs and crumbled hardboiled egg on top.

This dish was inspired by an appetizer I ate at Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, AK at the beginning of the month. I ordered the dish as my main course, and obviously it was memorable enough to recreate it. Which I have done no fewer than 3 times since returning. Since I am now obsessed with this whole combo, I would say it works as a main course, appetizer, or side dish with equal ease!
