Chef's Tip:
If you're not familiar with the DASH diet, here is the gist: DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The dash diet is a healthy eating plan meant to help lower blood pressure without the need for medication. To do so, it promotes low-sodium meals that include lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. It reduces foods that contain high levels of saturated fats (fatty meat and full-fat dairy products etc.) and sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets.
