Is it possible to improve your memory with food?

Impromproving your memory and overall brain health can be supported by including certain nutrients in your diet. A meal rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins can particularly be beneficial. Give a try to our Salmon and Walnut Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette.

This meal combines omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins E and K, which are known to support brain health.

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

4 ounces of fresh salmon fillet
1 cup of mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and kale)
1/2 cup of halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup of walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese (optional for a dairy-free version)
1/4 avocado, sliced
For the Blueberry Vinaigrette:

1/2 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Allow it to cool slightly, then flake it into large pieces.

Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a blender, combine the blueberries, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, crumbled feta cheese (if using), and avocado slices. Add the flaked salmon on top.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the blueberry vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Serve: Enjoy your nutrient-rich salad immediately for the freshest flavor!

This meal is not only delicious but also packed with the essential nutrients that your brain needs, such as Omega-3 fatty acids from the salmon, antioxidants from the blueberries, and vitamin E from the walnuts.
