Roasted Vegetables w/Walnuts, Basil & Balsamic
Holiday meals tend to be meat and saturated fat heavy, so add plant-based proteins and heart-healthy fats from nuts where you can, like California Walnuts. With 4 grams protein, 2½ grams ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) omega-3 fat and 2 grams fiber per ounce, walnuts add delicious crunch to almost any recipe — from baked goods, yogurt and salads to roasted vegetables, pasta and fish. Featured in the Living Well Eating Smart newsletter issue #68 (November 17th, 2016 to January 11th, 2017).
