Every week our staff nutritionist, Kaley Todd, picks her favorite of the week’s recipes. She looks for a balance of great flavor and good-for-you ingredients. She found just that in our lighter take on the French classic sole amandine. We give the delicate fish a light dusting of heart-healthy almond meal instead of plain white flour, then serve it with more almonds ground up in our customer- favorite romesco. Broccoli florets (tossed with sliced almonds) bring a hearty dose of immunity-boosting nutrients, including folate, vitamin C, and vitamin K.
