a dose of longevity

One of the perks of working at AARP is the access to information regarding health and aging. I recently came across an article that spelled out the benefits of a Mediterranean diet. The key ingredient: olive oil. Curiosity killed the cat, so I googled "foods you should eat every day". The most recommended food: tomatos. Thinking I could get a dose of longevity in one meal I came up with this salad:

After slicing a handful of heirloom tomatos, hearts of palm, and fresh basil; I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat and drizzled a tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for some twang.

Viola! A yummy fountain of youth...
