Welcome to our RESTORE kitchen! Today, we’re making a delicious and refreshing tomato salad sandwich.

Start by slicing vibrant orange and red tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune function and overall health. Arrange the slices on a plate and drizzle with your favorite olive oil based Italian dressing (and maybe a little balsamic vinegar). The healthy fats from olive oil help absorb fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants from the tomatoes.

Add freshly chopped basil for that perfect burst of flavor. Basil has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which can help reduce oxidative stress and support the immune system.

Next, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes. Parmesan is high in calcium and protein, essential for maintaining bone health and muscle mass.

Lastly, take two slices of toasted whole wheat bread, which is a source of fiber and can help aid in digestion. Place the dressed tomatoes on one slice and top it with the other slice of bread, and there you have it – a simple yet nutrient-packed tomato salad sandwich. Enjoy!
