I think our festive meals in Australia tend to be based more on the freshness of Summer produce and so I’d imagine we may be ahead in the health stakes without really putting any determined effort into it, but if a general rule could be applied to make the traditional meal healthier, then I’d suggest replacing as much of the sugared, over processed sauces and accompaniments with fresh salads and homemade dressings based on extra virgin olive oil, verjuice, red wine vinegar and vino cotto.
