Citrus

A fun and easy way to add variety to your diet is through citrus.  The flesh of the citrus fruits provides fiber while the zest has higher concentrations of vitamin C; so important during cold and flu season.


There are the obvious menu additions such as having an orange for breakfast, or adding lemon slices to your water but try using the juice of an orange as part of your salad dressing.  Whisk it with olive oil and toss it over fennel, and red onion slices. 


Grate the zest of a lemon over steamed asparagus, or green beans.


Marinate chicken, seitan, or tofu with lime juice, chili paste and olive oil. 


Have fun and get creative!
