Leading nutritious, fast-casual concept brings inspiration from the Blue Zone diet to its menu
Los Angeles, CA (Restaurant News Release) Tender Greens is inviting guests to dive into even more seasonal options with the introduction of its newest protein, sea bass. Diners can now experience the vibrant flavors and health benefits of the Grilled Sea Bass Bowl, which draws inspiration from the Blue Zone diet — a lifestyle that typically consists of whole, unprocessed foods that are high in nutrients and low in unhealthy fats and sugars.
Blending wholesome ingredients and exquisite taste inspired by these longevity-promoting regions of the world, the bowl features grilled sea bass atop roasted mushrooms and fingerling potatoes, incorporating the traditional use of hearty root vegetables of Sardinia. Tokyo turnips — hailing from the rural farming areas of Japan’s Okinawa prefecture — are also included. To round out the dish, a drizzle of olive oil labneh adds a creamy richness, inspired by the Mediterranean diet of Icaria where olive products are a cornerstone of daily meals.
A heart-healthy choice, sea bass has a mild, buttery flavor with a dash of sweetness and mouth-melting umami. The firm and flaky fish is a high-quality protein boasting substantial amounts of vitamins A, D, E and omega-3 oils.
Made perfectly for pairing, the new Winter Panzanella Salad, a seasonal delight, showcases caramelized apples and delicata squash, two vegetarian ingredients celebrated in the diet of Loma Linda. Tossed in a roasted tomato vinaigrette, this vibrant salad combines the sweet warmth of fruit with savory depth, evoking the flavors of the Mediterranean diet while embracing the comfort of winter produce.
“These new pescatarian and vegetarian options align with the principles of the Blue Zone diet, which emphasizes whole, nutrient-dense foods for longevity,” said Oliver Plust, Corporate Executive Chef of Tender Greens. “Our new Sea Bass Bowl gives our guests a heart-healthy, flavorful choice with sustainably sourced fish, while the Winter Panzanella Salad celebrates the plant-based ingredients that fuel the long-living communities of Loma Linda and beyond. Whether you’re pescatarian, vegetarian or simply looking for a wholesome meal, these dishes are delicious and fresh additions to our menu.”
