Condiments Salsa & Pico De Gallo. Instead of the sugar-loaded ketchup or fat-filled mayo, choose these tangy alternatives. Weighing in at just four to five calories per tablespoon, and zero fat, salsa boasts plenty of nutrients. Olive oil based pesto or sundried tomato spread. All three ingredients – olive oil, basil and sundried tomatoes – are loaded with anti-inflammatory properties. Side Dishes Bean Salad. Contrary to the mayo-based potato salad and macaroni salad, all beans boast fiber, protein and a bevy of anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Caprese Salad. Sliced tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and basil drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Choose this tasty Caprese salad and you’ll get more oleocanthol and cancer-fighting lycopene.
Main Dishes Marinated Mushrooms. Meaty mushrooms marinated in equal parts olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. You’ll get immune-boosting nutrients in the mushrooms, vinegar and lemon juice. Plus, studies show that oleocanthal, one of themostconcentratedanti-inflammatorycompounds inoliveoil,dampens the body’s inflammatoryprocessand reducespainsensitivitywithapharmacological action similar to ibuprofen. Herb Salmon. Salmon with a splash of lemon and a sprinkling of savory summer herbs. Salmon is rich in omega-3s and vitamin D, both of which enhance joint health, boost immunity and protect against inflammation.
