    How this recipe came to be:

    This healthy dish of Sautéed Creamed Spinach & Strawberry with Pistachios came about one night when I was contemplating what to serve alongside some fish I was cooking for dinner.

    Since I had strawberries in the fridge that I needed to use before they spoiled, I tossed some into the sautéed creamed spinach I was preparing. The completed dish tasted amazing, and turned out to be a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds!

    Strawberries are also high in manganese and potassium which help to regulate blood pressure.

    What about pistachios? Are there health benefits to pistachios as well?

    You bet. Did you know...

    Pistachios contain more antioxidants than most seeds and nuts. Only pecans and walnuts contain more.

    Among other nuts, pistachios contain the highest content of lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are very important antioxidants for eye health.

    Pistachios have a higher ratio than any other nut of amino acids, which are the essential building blocks of protein.
