AKA: Breakfast Tart and Fruit Salad
This recipe is full of tomatoes which are packed with the phytonutrient, lycopene, known for its antioxidant potency. Antioxidants help repair the stress that comes from oxidation by scavenging damage causing free-radicals. Olives are plentiful in this recipe and are rich in beneficial monounsaturated fats and low in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. Olives contain a phytochemical, hydroxytyrosol, which inhibits enzymes that produce pro-inflammatory eicosanoids (hormones controlling the inflammatory process). This recipe balances three macronutrients (low-fat protein, low-glycemic carbs, and heart-healthy fat) to help control hunger and maintain hormonal balance.
This recipe is direct from Italy.
