Healthy alternations: #fixthedish

• Fresh lettuce vs. Bag Lettuce

                                   Bag Lettuce contains pesticides

• Deli Cheese vs. Processed/Pre-shredded

Shredded Cheese has additives to give it a longer shelf life

• Frigerated Dressing vs. Shelf Dressing

In order for dressing to sit on a shelf, trans fats are added

Caprese Salad

On the lighter side:

2 Roma tomatoes (garden fresh)

Soft Mozzarella cheese (deli)

4 Basil leaves (garden fresh)

*Herbs, Fruit, Calcium*
*5 minutes to make*

3 Good Choices:

• Tomatoes and Basil fresh from my Garden. I know not everyone can do that, so venture out to a local farmer's market or enjoy fresh produce from your supermarket.\
• Shredded cheese is not as healthy or fresh as Deli cheese due to preservatives used to prevent molding. Try going to a local deli or buying a block at the supermarket.
• Try white cheeses, which do not contain harmful dyes like in yellow cheeses. White cheese is more natural for the body.

I know not everyone can garden, but there's plenty of healthy alterations and good choices you can make to fix your dish! I may seem like someone who is super healthy, but I'm the same as you and I'm just trying and learning more everyday on how to nourish my own body and help you do the same.
