Wellness Tip: Sweet corn has been unfairly villainized by the low-carb movement, but when eaten in its whole-food form, it is an incredible summer superfood! Whole corn is packed with insoluble fiber, which acts like a broom for your digestive tract, and is loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful antioxidants that actually protect your eyes from sun damage during these bright summer months! To make this a true 'Wellness-Approved' side, I highly recommend sourcing organic corn to avoid heavy pesticides. Finally, we completely ditch the traditional heavy mayonnaise dressing, opting instead for a bright, clean vinaigrette made from cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh lime, which actively helps your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in the vegetables!

Wellness Tip: Potatoes have been unfairly demonized in the diet industry, but they contain a secret metabolic weapon: Resistant Starch! When you boil potatoes and let them cool even slightly to absorb a dressing, their starches transform into a specific type of fiber that actively resists digestion. Instead of spiking your blood sugar, this resistant starch travels straight to your lower intestine, acting as a massive prebiotic feast for your good gut bacteria!

Wellness Tip: Broccoli is a cruciferous powerhouse loaded with a compound called sulforaphane, which is famous for its potent anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. But here is the ultimate wellness hack: sulforaphane is only activated when the raw broccoli is chopped or chewed! Letting your freshly chopped broccoli sit for about 10 minutes before dressing it actually maximizes this cancer-fighting compound. To keep this classic salad 'Wellness-Approved,' we completely replace the refined sugar and heavy mayo with a base of probiotic-rich plain Greek yogurt and a touch of pure maple syrup. You get all the nostalgic, sweet-and-tangy creaminess with double the protein and zero sugar crash!
