Sweet apples, crisp fennel, toasted pine nuts, and a bright rosemary cider vinaigrette create a beautiful balance of flavors and textures. Rich in fiber and phytonutrients, fennel provides anethole and other beneficial plant compounds that help nourish a healthy gut microbiome while supporting healthy inflammatory responses and helping protect cells from oxidative stress. Along with its fragrant flavor, rosemary also provides unique antioxidant compounds, including carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, that help protect cells from oxidative stress and support healthy brain function.
