Delicious Metabolic Reset Recipes from Primo Vinegars
When Miranda Sommer of Whole Heart Health and Wellness approached Primo Oils about a Metabolic Reset Meet & Greet we were only too happy to offer Primo Oils as a venue. You may not think of Primo Oils as the perfect fit for a Metabolic Reset event but we’re here to tell you that we’ve got a lot more than just olive oils. Primo has just as many Balsamic Vinegar flavors as we do EVOO.
Balsamic Vinegar is a kitchen essential and one that, like olive oil, people overlook or think comes in just “plain”. Our balsamic vinegars come in a wide variety of flavors from the drinkable Aged Natural Fig Balsamic to a salad-ready Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar. And every flavor in between.
We hope you enjoy these recipes that we shared at the Meet & Greet event.

Main Dishes
Pulled Chicken-Apple Salad
This is a nice light dish to have on a hot night. You can pick up a rotisserie chicken at the store so there’s no need to heat up your kitchen!
Ingredients
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 2 honey crisp apples
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1/2 red cabbage
- Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar
- Gravenstein Apple Balsamic
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your fruit and veggies. Peel apples, and grate on a box grater. Separate cauliflower into small, bite-size florets. Vein and chop up kale and thinly slice the red cabbage.
- Combine apples, veggies and chicken. Toss to combine.
- Drizzle with Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar and Gravenstein Apple Balsamic. Salt and pepper to taste.
Balsamic Flank Steak
A great steak recipe. We like that this is a pan-seared steak so you don’t have to wait for good BBQ weather.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 lb Flank Steak
- 1/2 c Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 Minced Garlic Cloves
- 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
Instructions
- Mix Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar, minced garlic and Dijon mustard until combined. Pour marinade into a shallow dish that will hold the steak.
- Prepare steak by first puncturing with a knife tip about once every square inch on both sides of the steak. Place in the marinade. Leave in the refrigerator overnight turning 2 or 3 times.
- Flank steak is thicker at one end than the other. Cut the steak into two pieces. Your thinner piece will be done before the thick piece.
- Heat a no-stick pan on high heat. Cook steak on high 4-5 minutes per side.
- Monitor internal heat with an instant-read meat thermometer. Steak will be medium rare when it reaches 125 degrees. Flank and skirt steaks are more flavorful when served medium rare.
- Cover and let rest 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.
