Savor the Season Chef Collette Haw
People think comfort foods and healthy foods are mutually exclusive, but that’s not true! I believe comfort foods are really what make you feel good. When people think about healthy eating, they think, “Oh, I have to eat a salad for the rest of my life.” But there are so many other nutrient-dense foods people can eat that aren’t raw kale or steamed vegetables. Take this dish, for example. People usually associate ceviche with seafood, but I made this version using fresh, seasonal ingredients from my local farmer’s market. Not only is it colorful to look at, thanks to the acid from the limes and grapefruit, it explodes in your mouth with fresh, bright flavors. The best part about a recipe like this is you can customize it to your tastes, or to whatever’s in season. Experiment and enjoy! H A P P Y FA L L F E A S T I N G !
