How to Incorporate Organic Olive Oil in Your Daily Diet?

Posted on December 10, 2021


Do you want to make some healthy dietary changes to your meal plan? The first thing to come to your mind is replacing those 'cheat' meals with nutritious options. However, you may think that healthier options are not delicious. But, there are some ways you can elevate your dishes to make them tastier and appetizing, like by using olive oil.

Following are some ways to incorporate olive oil into your diet:

Make your own salad dressings

A flavorful salad dressing can take your salad to another level. However, ready-made salad dressings have loads of low-quality fats like vegetable oil. These fats may have additives, preservatives, artificial colors, and thickening agents. Therefore, you should consider making your own delectable salad dressing using nutritional components like olive oil. You would need the following things:

  • High-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Acid (like red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar)
  • Flavor boosters (like spices, pepper, salt, herbs, mustard, and honey)

Use ¾ cup olive oil and ¼ cup vinegar. You can also add a tablespoon of water to smoothen the flavors without adding any extra calories.

Use it as a finishing oil

A good-quality extra virgin olive oil is full of flavors, and you would surely want those flavors to shine in your dishes. You can drizzle the oil on your finished dishes to make them delicious and aromatic. You can use olive oil as a finishing oil in a few ways like:

  • Mix with roasted or steamed veggies
  • Use as a dipping for warm and crusty bread
  • Mix into creamy soups
  • Mix into hummus

You can also combine olive oil with lemon peel, garlic cloves, rosemary, and chili peppers to make homemade infused olive oil.

Use olive oil for baking

Did you know that olive oil is used in many baked goods? You can use it as a substitute for vegetable oil or butter in cakes, cookies, muffins, banana bread, zucchini, brownies, and more. You can also use it in several Mediterranean staples like focaccia, olive bread, and biscotti.

You may commonly use butter in baking; however, it is immensely loaded with saturated fats. Replacing it with unsaturated fats from olive oil reduces the risk of heart diseases.

Use olive oil for frying, roasting, and sauteing-

You may think that you cannot use olive oil for high temperatures. However, you should know that it is actually relatively healthy for all cooking purposes. You can dry eggs, roast veggies, deep fry chicken or donuts, stir fry veggies or meat, and sear meat and fish in olive oil. Yes, you can do it all in olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil can resist degradation better than oils with a high smoke point, making it one of the most stable cooking oils.
