Top Off Your Greens
Cucumber, Feta Cheese and Dill Dressing
At AICR we love our greens. Spinach, romaine, arugula and chard: if it’s healthful and fits in a bowl, we’re for it! Mix up your do-it-yourself salad with a healthy homemade dressing. Research suggests that potential cancer-fighting compounds, such as beta-carotene found in veggies like carrots and broccoli, are better absorbed by the body when you consume a little healthy fat along with them. This creamy, cool dressing tastes good on roasted vegetables or a hot portobello mushroom sandwich. Refrigerated, it will keep up to one week. |
