You may be surprised to learn that cooking with olive oil is a simple way to add heart-healthy “good” fats to your diet. In fact, the health benefits, flavor and versatility of olive oil are

all good reasons that olive oil is a staple in many kitchens. Not only can you replace other oils in recipes with olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil for added flavor), in many recipes you can also replace

butter with olive oil to reduce saturated fat, cholesterol and calories. Studies show that your body absorbs nutrients from greens and vegetables better when they are consumed with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil. These recipes help you get the most out of your veggies, and enjoy a decadent dessert too. Learn more at www.abou-toliveoil.org.`

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1/2 teaspoon kosher salt3 tablespoons honey2 teaspoons Sriracha chili sauce1 golden pineappleOlive Oil Ice Cream, recipe followsMint sprigsSliced strawberries Combine extra virgin olive oil, salt, honey and Sriracha. Set aside. Cut top and bottom off pineapple and remove outer skin. Turn pine-apple on side and cut even slices about 3/8-inch thick leaving the core in.

over them, and gently rotate bag to distribute. Marinate overnight or at least 4 hours. Heat charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling.
