Revitalize Your Health with Middle-Eastern Shish Tawook and Sumac Salad Dressing.

Tailored to Enhance Your Blood Biomarkers

Sumac is a tangy and slightly acidic spice that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the greens and the creaminess of the feta cheese. This salad recipe is perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish for dinner.

As a nutritionist, I firmly believe that it is both our privilege and obligation to be well-informed about our inner being. By gaining access to the results of our blood work, we are endowed with an invaluable tool that empowers us to make informed decisions regarding our health and wellbeing. Through incremental lifestyle changes, we are able to refine our approach and make the necessary adjustments, one step at a time. It is through this persistent refinement process that we are ultimately able to actualize our true potential and become the very best version of ourselves.

To aid me in this noble endeavor, I rely upon the InsideTracker app, an indispensable resource that affords me the ability to guide my clients towards optimal health and wellness.

Incorporating two InsideTracker dietary recommendations based on my blood analysis, this recipe emphasizes higher intake of antioxidant-rich ingredients and increased consumption of olive oil.
