Purple foods that supports brain heart
For the Brain-Loving Dressing:
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (great for heart health!) 🫒
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 🍋
- 1 tbsp Pure honey or maple syrup 🍯
- Salt & Pepper to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Let’s Assemble the Power Bowl!
- Roast the Spuds: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss your cubed purple sweet potato with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool slightly. 🍠🔥
- Shred the Crunch: While the potatoes roast, finely shred your red cabbage. Cabbage gives this salad an incredible crunch and is packed with brain-protecting nutrients! 🥬🔪
- The Fruit Layer: Slice up your fresh plums or figs and wash your fresh berries. 🫐🍇
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, vigorously whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified. 🌪️🍯
- The Big Toss: In a large serving bowl, combine the crunchy red cabbage, the roasted purple sweet potatoes, and the sliced plums/figs. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently. 🥣✨
- The Garnish: Top the salad with your fresh blueberries and blackberries right at the end so they stay beautifully intact. 🫐💎
💡 Pro-Tip:
Want to elevate this even further? Top your salad with a handful of chopped walnuts! Walnuts are shaped exactly like little brains and are rich in DHA (a type of Omega-3 fatty acid) which further boosts cognitive performance. 🧠🥜
