Happy Seasonal Sunday, Plant Lovers!
This week, let’s talk about Frisée—a delicate, curly green from the lettuce family that’s in season now and available in many grocery stores. With its crisp texture and slightly bitter flavor, frisée adds a refreshing twist to salads, sandwiches and warm dishes!
Why You’ll Love Frisée:
- Light & Crunchy: Adds the perfect texture to meals.
- Mildly Bitter & Refreshing: Balances out rich or sweet flavors.
- Nutrient-Packed: Rich in fiber, folate and vitamin A for healthy skin and digestion.
Ways to Enjoy Frisée:
- Tossed in Salads: Pair with citrus, nuts and a creamy dressing.
- Layered in Sandwiches: Adds a fresh crunch to your favorite fillings.
- Wilted into Warm Dishes: Stir into soups or sauté lightly for a tender bite.
- Topped on Roasted Veggies: A crisp contrast to warm, caramelized flavors.
If you haven’t tried frisée yet, now’s the perfect time! Grab a bunch, get creative and enjoy the fresh, seasonal goodness. It is at its peak from October through April in the U.S.
Let me know your favorite way to enjoy fresh greens!
Wishing you a crisp and nourishing Sunday.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
