We want to ensure that we receive enough servings of fruits and vegetables daily. How much is a serving of vegetables? Here is a Dietitians of Canada video link:
In recent years, there has been a surge in people choosing “plant based” diets. There are many reasons for making the switch. Many people switch to a plant based diet for the following reasons:
- For Heath: Increase
consumption of vegetables and fruit
- Lower
saturated fat from beef, pork, poultry
- Lighter
ecological footprint, on the earth due to animal
- Ethical
treatment of animals
Different
types of Vegetarians? YES!
Some people, may NOT want to become full-time vegans, eating only plant based foods, they may include fish, eggs and dairy products. Other people may simply choose to include more vegetables in their diets while reducing meat in their diet.
An extra consideration for people who are on a plant based or vegetarian diets is that they should ensure there is enough protein in their diets. LEGUMES, also known as PULSES are an excellent source of vegetable based protein.
BEWARE that not all vegan food is healthy! YES, Oreo cookies are VEGAN, it
goes to show that commercial products load up on
sugar and fat and their clever marketers label them as “healthy”. Sometimes plant-based food has additional salt and other additives
added to make it ‘tastier’ or more appealing. Read this article below and YOU
decide!

Mise en place for Caesar Salad Vinaigrette Dressing 
Version 1: All ingredients get added into a jar, shaken, and the vinaigrette separates. Lemon juice is the acid and olive oil is the oil. The classic ratio 1/3 acidic ingredients to 2/3 oil. Shake well before use, because oil and vinegar don't mix!
For Version 2: Emulisified Caesar Dressing, see the video recipe on MS TEAMS, Files --> Class Materials
 |
| The night before, soak chick peas. Boil on medium for about 30 minutes to cook. Roast in a frying pan, add oil, season with salt, roast until crispy. Sprinkle on Caesar salad. An excellent way to add crunchy texture and protein to a vegetarian salad! |
