Nutrition Tips

Adding a small amount of black olives to replace with the use of high fat dressings in a salad is beneficial. It not only adds flavors but also lowers the total fat content in the dish. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fat, which helps lower the risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation.
