Chef Staib/Dietz & Watson
Chef Staib presents a variety of healthy recipes to make in the New Year to help keep that healthy eating resolution on track.
He is making a gluten free turkey wrap with Dietz & Watson turkey, which is lean and low in fat and sodium, but full of flavor.
Chef Staib is also making a turkey apple salad that's perfect for a healthy, filling lunch or light dinner when served with a green salad. It's brimming with fruit that has vitamins and nutrients, and it's packed with protein to keep you fuller for longer. There's also an apple curry crostini that makes an elegant snack or party food, but is light and healthy. Leaving the skin on the apples adds crunch and color to the mix, but it also adds fiber to keep you full.
The Dietz & Watson cheddar cheese adds a healthy dose of dairy and protein to this sophisticated yet unfussy appetizer. For more information, please visit: http://dietzandwatson.com/ and http://www.citytavern.com/
