Serves 4
printer friendly version
 his recipe contains many anti-aging foods that can help you age gracefully when eaten as part of an overall anti-aging diet (see my January 2008 Nutrition Notes newsletter for more details). Salmon is high in healthful anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats and yogurt contains “good” bacteria that help boost the immune system. Spices such as ginger, turmeric and curry have anti-aging benefits as well. The yogurt sauce can be made up to one day in advance as it tastes best a few hours after it is made.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 medium English cucumber, peeled and diced
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 red jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced gingerroot (peeled)
