Polyphenol Rich Mediterranean Salad
A polyphenol rich Mediterranean salad combines greens, tomatoes, olives, herbs, and measured olive oil—with beans or fish protein, not crouton-heavy dressings.
A polyphenol rich Mediterranean salad stacks leafy greens, tomatoes, olives, red onion, herbs, and olive oil—with optional beans or tuna for protein instead of croutons and sugary dressing. Olives and oil add fat for carotenoid absorption; vinegar beats honey-heavy vinaigrettes.
Meal-size salads need a protein anchor, not just greens. Prep dressing in a jar with measured oil.
Common questions
-
Are olives too salty for daily Mediterranean salads?
A few olives per salad are fine for most people watching sodium—count them toward daily salt if hypertension is a focus. Rinse if needed; do not skip olive oil because olives already add fat.
