Dinner
Following the MIND diet does not need to be boring, and these recipes are proof of that! Enjoy after a busy day or invite friends and family over to try your new recipes.
Salmon power bowls
Build your own bowl with ingredients of your choice, including a grain (brown rice, quinoa), a protein (salmon, chicken, etc.), and your favorite vegetables (spinach, tomatoes, radishes, edamame, etc.).
Cook your protein and grain according to directions on the package, and top with your favorite vegetables. It’s as simple as that!
Fish tacos
Choose your favorite white fish (I used tilapia), and grill, pan sear or bake the fish with your desired seasoning. Use a white corn tortilla and top with black beans, tomatoes, avocado and cabbage slaw. Enjoy!
Summer chicken salads
Prepare your chicken by either grilling or baking in the oven, and also cook the corn by boiling on the stove or grilling. Next, cook your quinoa according to directions on the package, dice one small zucchini, and chop baby tomatoes. When the corn is ready, cut it off the cob and mix with tomatoes and zucchini. Top with a mixture of Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and enjoy with chicken.
Hawaiian Salmon Bowls
Preheat your oven to 350, and in a bowl combine 2 Tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tsp of rice vinegar, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of honey. Cover salmon with the marinade and let soak in the fridge for 10 minutes, or as long as desired for a more prominent flavor. After marinading, place salmon on a baking sheet and bake for 25 or so minutes. After putting the salmon in the oven, make a serving of your favorite rice. Next, prepare all of your toppings of choice which could include cucumber, avocado, pineapple, edamame, carrots, etc. After the rice and salmon finish cooking, top the whole bowl with sesame seeds, and enjoy!
