This week on the Yogurt Fusion Blog we're out in the garden selecting some superfoods for a very healthy salad that contains vegetables to keep the body strong.  This installment is a continuation from the last blog which featured the Grilled Rosemary Chicken with Pineapple recipe. The Superfood Salad is a delicious addition to this menu and is filled with flavor and is also a very versatile dish.

It is used here as a salad, but can also be used as a main course entree, or a unique steamed side dish. Place the first 9 ingredients in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam for 5 -7 minutes. Toss with the remaining ingredients and serve as a wonderful side to a main entree. As a steamed dish you can also serve for breakfast, simply add an egg, toast and a yogurt dressing.

In this week's edition of the Yogurt Fusion Blog we're grilling up some recipes for spring and summer!  This week we're making grilled shrimp and scallops, with a side of asparagus. While the grill is hot, feel free to add your own favorite vegetable sides as well.  Use a grill basket and grill some broccoli; grill corn in their husks, or toast your rolls as a nice addition to the meal. They are delicious, healthy and easy to prepare.   Add a salad, and this meal serves 4.

Shrimp and scallops are both great choices of lean protein.  They contain the mineral selenium that has antioxidant properties which can help manage arthritis and maintain healthy skin. Scallops contain magnesium that can aid in blood pressure control; and shrimp contain Vitamin B6 which may reduce symptoms of PMS.

This week's blog is focused on Foods to Boost the Immune System.  Cold and Flu season is here and a breakdown in the bodily system can leave us susceptible to infection and illness.  Once ill, it is generally recommended that one drinks fluids, rests and eats a variety of healthy foods, but we can work to remain healthy during this season.
