Health and fertility benefits of Pear Salad with Walnuts and Goat Cheese

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Walnuts are low on the glycemic index. What’s more, they also lower the glycemic index of other foods that you eat in conjunction with these nuts. Any kind of nuts provide a healthy source of fat and a great way to encourage PCOS weight loss.

8 tablespoons light Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette salad dressing

Instructions

Dietitian Tip: To toast the walnuts, place in a small nonstick skillet on low heat and cook until the walnuts begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Walnuts are the only nut to provide an excellent source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
