🧿 Welcome to Episode 2/20 Greek Blue Zone. A series where I’ll be sharing recipes for longevity. Today we are making a Roasted Beet + Salmon Salad. 🧿

🌱👩🏻‍🍳🔪Comment “recipe” below and we will send you the full recipe or tap the link in my bio to access our website. Don’t forget to save this post for later! 🔪👩🏻‍🍳🌱

This Salmon Salad with roasted beets is the perfect healthy recipe for a fresh dinner or lunch. This recipe also fits within the Blue Zone diet which means it has healthy fats, no processed ingredients, and is loaded with healthy protein and veggies. You’re going to love this recipe with the earthy roasted beets, fresh salmon, and the crunch from pistachios and pomegranate seeds.

Make this salad if you’re looking for the perfect recipe to meal prep (simply add the arugula when you go to eat the salad) and enjoy all week long — it’s so hearty, filling and packed with flavor. Inspired by the flavours of Greece and Blue Zone Citizens who eat meals packed with at least 50% veggies, plenty of beans and limited amounts of animal protein per day. Salads can get a bad reputation for just being a bowl of veggies that may taste good at the moment but leave you hungry in 30 minutes. The key is creating a salad that has filling, hearty ingredients like organic fish, couscous, nuts + seeds, and goats cheese!

When you roast aubergine and then wrap it in aromatic ground beef, and cheese and then bake with potatoes and serve it with a tomato sauce and zesty yogurt something dramatic happens and @onurwoodart made it look so good I just had to try it myself! Wow!

Today we’re making a Turkish delicacy! Since eggplant is the most disliked nightshade, I knew I needed to get creative with this unfortunately underrated veggie! The beef exterior consists of high quality ground beef, lots of my families olive oil, salt, pepper, grated onion, and spices. Once the eggplant is super jammy, I coated it with the beef and cheese and baked it till it’s caramelized, sweet and juicy. When you serve it with the warming tomato sauce, the beef soaks up every bit of flavour. If you’re in love with all things Mediterranean be sure to click that follow button so you never miss a delicious recipe!

Eggplant is inexpensive and so delicious to cook with and add into recipes. This Roasted Eggplant recipe isn’t just a plain, boring eggplant. This recipe wraps the eggplant in beef and is served with a tomato sauce. It’s a yummy comforting food, and only takes 20 minutes to prep.
