You heard that right! Flax oil is all the rage this summer and you need to get yourself a bottle stat!
Flaxseed oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids and has been shown to have several health benefits, such as reduced blood pressure and improved regularity.
What’s more, flaxseed oil can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used as a replacement for other types of oils, added to foods or applied to your skin and hair.
Carrington Farms Flax Cooking Oil is cold pressed and works great in everything from stir-fry to roasting!
Fry with it, bake with it or sauté vegetables – an excellent alternative to butter, canola or olive oil.
If you are looking to get a little “nutty”, flavor-wise, in the kitchen, our Organic Flax Cooking Oil has benefits like Alpha-Linolic Acid (ALA) and Omega-3 fatty acids.
I love using this oil as it is vegan, non-hydrogenated, chemical free and has 0 trans fat!
During the summer months, produce is so vibrant and flavorful.
Some of my favorite vegetables for grilling are zucchini, squash, bell peppers, red onion, and asparagus.
Not only are these colorful veggies cheaper when they are in season but they also taste so much better!
Grilling them with just a bit of salt and pepper enhances the flavors of the vegetables.
But as with most recipe, you need a sauce which is why I am pairing these grilled summer vegetables with the lemon flax oil vinaigrette!
This recipe is vegetarian, vegan and gluten free.
