Here is a simple nutrient-packed lunchbox option that we loved to serve on top of a bed of greens or lettuce wraps. Dill and red onions are excellent sources of the flavonoid, quercetin. Quercetin is neuroprotective against glutamate-induced oxidative stress, free radicals and helps to inhibit glutamate release (which decreases neuron firing). Dill is also a natural antimicrobial and helps to property utilize fatty acids. Delicious and beneficial!

Don’t be afraid to toss in a few extra herbs into this one! Milk thistle, nettle, horsetail, microgreens, celery, jicama, etc. can all easily be added for a little additional nutritional value!
