February is American Heart Month – a time to encourage healthy lifestyles to prevent heart disease. The North Texas Food Bank is committed to supporting heart-healthy living for our neighbors in various ways, including a dedicated 영양 서비스 team that offers recipes, programming and education to help the community make healthy eating choices.

Eating healthy is one of the best ways to take care of your heart health, and winter is a great time to stay home, stay warm and try out some new recipes. The recipe below for 사우스웨스트 퀴노아 샐러드 is not only delicious and filling, but it is comprised of ingredients important for a healthy and active heart!

This recipe contains two plant-based sources of protein, quinoa, a high protein whole grain, as well as black beans which together create a delicious meal that is low in saturated fats. Additionally, quinoa and black beans are an excellent source of fiber! The recipe includes different spices, as well as a simple olive oil-based lime vinaigrette to really pack in flavor without adding too much extra sodium. According to the American Heart Association, olive oil could help lower risk of heart disease.

We hope you enjoy the recipe!
