Got leftovers some coleslaw, green olives, and Kraft cheese, along with sliced salmon for a simple, healthy lunch with toast.

“Sliced salmon, particularly smoked salmon and sashimi, is renowned for its high-quality protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins. These nutrients enhance brain health, reduce inflammation, and assist in muscle maintenance. Omega-3s like EPA and DHA lower triglycerides, support heart health, and improve memory while also potentially reducing Alzheimer’s risk. Additionally, salmon contains astaxanthin, which contributes to its pink hue and works with Omega-3s to combat inflammation and improve cholesterol.”

“Pitted green olives are unripe olives with the stones removed, making them easy to eat or cook. They are high in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants, and beneficial for salads, tapenades, and charcuterie boards. With compounds like oleic acid, they can reduce “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Additionally, they contain polyphenols such as hydroxytyrosol that combat inflammation and protect cell health, provide dietary fiber for gut bacteria nourishment, and help maintain stable glucose levels due to their low glycemic index.”

“Coleslaw is a crunchy salad made from shredded raw cabbage and a dressing, often including grated carrots. It is rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin K, provides Vitamin A, and is high in dietary fiber. The salad includes antioxidants and sulfur compounds that combat inflammation. A light or vinegar-based dressing keeps it low in calories while promoting fullness.”

Here’s my quick meal of green, pink, yellow and toast brown, its delicious. Let’s make healthy lunch!!!

Ingredients

2 slices bread, toast
1 slice kraft cheese
1 package salmon sliced, about 80 g
some leftover coleslaw
5 halved pitted green olives
butter
pepper (OPT)

Method

Place bread into toaster, and toast. Bring out butter, coleslaw and pitted green olives from fridge. Open the salmon package. Once toast bread is done, spread butter on both the toast.

Place one buttered toast on the plate. Place half the sliced cheese on top, followed by some coleslaw. Next place the salmon sliced on top of coleslaw. Now place the green olives. Then place the buttered toast with half remaining cheese on the side. Serve immediately with a cup of hot tea. Enjoy!!!

Note: Pitted green olives: While they offer great nutritional benefits, green olives are often cured in saltwater (brine), which makes them high in sodium. It’s recommended to enjoy a moderate portion—about 5 to 10 olives a day—or rinse them before eating to reduce the salt content.

Coleslaw: Coleslaw can be highly nutritious, but the dressing makes all the difference: Traditional mayonnaise can be heavy in calories and fats. Swap it for Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, or olive oil for a heart-healthy, low-calorie alternative. It makes a perfect accompaniment to grilled fish, meats, or plant-based proteins.
