Special Holiday Salad Meal!

OurPlate Score: 10/10                                   Follow & Network on Facebook

With many end-of-the-year holidays upon us all, we thought we’d show how a special and naturally healthy holiday meal can be made the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate guidelines. Other than the extra step of marinating a protein food before oven roasting , this meal is as quick and easy to make as it is festive and inviting to enjoy.

Our naturally healthier version of a traditional holiday meal begins with chicken breasts, which are marinated refrigerated for a few hours in olive oil and wine vinegar with garlic, turmeric, coriander, orange peel, finely chopped onion and figs, a scattering of anise and sesame seeds, and black pepper. The breasts are then oven roasted and basted periodically until done, and allowed to sit briefly before slicing and serving  Once sliced and while still warm, the breast meat is pared with a generous half-plate of greens, julienne-cut cucumber and celery, and halved grape tomatoes. The meal is then garnished simply with roasted pistachios, parsley, garlic bits, paprika, and black pepper. Extra special but not a lot of extra work…so you have more time to spend with family and friends!

Happy Solstice Greetings!

Greetings from HumanaNatura at the solstice! Across our planet, we are now at the extremes of light and darkness in the natural year. In the northern hemisphere, this is the shortest and naturally most constrained day of the year, but the beginning of longer days and lengthening light. For the south, it is the height of the year and a jubilant time of sweeping light, especially in the south’s higher latitudes, marking the change from spring to summer.

In either case, we are halfway between the relative balance and calm of the fall and spring equinoxes, when HumanaNatura encourages review and renewal of our Natural Life Plan. At the solstice, HumanaNatura instead recommends life and health-affirming celebration and time with others – as a complement to reflection and planning, and in an ancient human rhythm that has its roots before recorded history.

If you have not yet created a Natural Life Plan – guiding your use and expression of the third HumanaNatura technique of Natural Living – the links we have provided will take you to our planning worksheets and get you started with seven-step progressive planning process. Together, these resources can help you begin more intentionally health-centered and open-ended life in the days and weeks ahead.

HumanaNatura’s newest community newsletter was released today as well, which is published eight times yearly in harmony with the natural year. To receive future HumanaNatura newsletters and learn about the benefits of membership in our global practitioner-advocate network, go to Join HumanaNatura.

Health & best wishes at the solstice,
