Heirloom Tomato Salad with Chickpeas and Grilled Lemons

Elevating your salad is all about the details! This MIND Diet recipe quickly grills/chars the lemons to bring some bright sweetness and tart flavors to traditional Mediterranean ingredients. This salad will be a big hit no matter who you make it for! 

This refreshing summer salad is bursting with brain-boosting nutrition.  Kalamata olives and extra virgin olive oil deliver powerful polyphenols that combat oxidative stress.   Spinach adds a dose of kaempferol along with lutein and zeaxanthin—nutrients that support both eye and brain health.  Chickpeas round it out with magnesium, a key mineral for mood regulation.  Quick to toss together and full of vibrant flavor, this dish makes a nourishing main or side for your next BBQ, or an easy, energizing lunch any day of the week.
