Next time you’re in the area, try these two Healthy Dining-approved dishes that are fixtures on Sophia’s Restaurant’s menu:
Salad Maison (140 calories, 9 g fat)
This salad proves that greens can be a real star of your meal. These field greens are tossed with candied orange peel, toasted hazelnuts, roasted tomato, and Maytag Blue Cheese for a perfectly balanced mix of sweet, salty, crisp and creamy. To make this a Healthy Dining choice, request the cider-dijon vinaigrette dressing on the side and add sparingly. Each Tbsp will add 80 calories, 8 g fat and 115 mg sodium). Also request less cheese (0.25 oz) and less hazelnuts (1½ Tbsp).

Omega 3’s, lean protein and veggies in one tasty dish? Yes, please. This is a Pacific salmon with savory pad Thai paired with sweet bell peppers and carrots. Request less peanuts (0.25 oz) to make it a Healthy Dining choice.
