Perfectly paired food combinations

Want the food you put in your body to really matter? Then try these healthy combinations, compliments of Publix.

To yield more phytonutrients: Add a little olive oil to a salad of baby spinach, shredded carrots, and red onion. Or mix avocado, tomato salsa, and lime juice for a tangy guacamole.

To score more iron: Serve black beans with salsa and a sliced orange, drop some cut strawberries into a bowl of whole grain cereal, or stir up some brown rice, tofu, and red and green bell peppers.

For stronger bones: Create a quiche with broccoli, eggs, and low-fat milk or how about the leafy vegetable chard and garlic in olive oil, topped with a bit of Parmesan cheese?
