Dietitians are always encouraging clients to eat more fruits and vegetables. But, when a client asks you what herbs and spices complement their seasonal produce, do you know what to tell them? Each season has a wealth of fresh produce depending on the region you live in. Many herbs and spices pair nicely with the produce but it can be a challenge to figure this out. There are distinctive flavors from herbs and spices that work well together, not to mention the many health benefits a client can receive from adding these to their daily cooking.
Summer’s harvest is full of herbs, vegetables, melons, squash and peppers. The abundance of local produce makes summer an exciting time in the kitchen. In part three of the series, Summer Sizzle, Shayna Komar, RD, LD and Chef Nancy Waldeck will provide recipes, tips, and ideas for RDs to use to guide their clients in using seasonal produce. In Summer Sizzle, Shayna and Nancy will highlight:
- Basil
- Beans
- Melons
- Corn
- Cucumbers
- Squash
- Peppers
