Wilted Kale & Sweet Potato Salad

This warm salad provides a beautiful contrast between hearty dark leafy greens and creamy orange potatoes. Its sweet flavor-rich sauce pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or a pork tenderloin. Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side.

Edamame & Black Bean Salad

Serve up some soy joy! Low-fat, high protein crisp edamame, fiber-rich black beans, and crunchy cabbage get tossed in an Asian vinaigrette for a “superfood” slaw that provides 100% of your daily dose of iron and folate. A great “make-ahead” dish because it gets better as it marinates.

Creamy Walnut Dressing

Use this dressing to dip your favorite cut of red meat such as beef or lamb.

Tangy and Sweet Brussels Sprouts Slaw

If you like a summer cabbage slaw, you’ll love this hearty version, the perfect side dish for a winter meal. Brussels sprouts are at their sweetest during cold weather and are an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin K.

Grilled Greek Salad

Grilling a hearty lettuce, like romaine, turns any ordinary salad into a go-to meal.

Tuna Salad Nicoise

“To your health,” that’s what this French-inspired salad is all about. We’ve improved it by using a lighter dressing, substituting sweet potatoes, and using fermented vegetables. Try salmon or sardines for extra Omega-3 fatty acids.

Plum Caprese Salad

For a twist on the traditional Caprese salad, this recipe substitutes plums for tomatoes. Paired with the protein of the fresh mozzarella and the fat of the olive oil, this recipe assists in maintaining stable blood sugars and reducing the risk for Type 2 Diabetes.

Seared Pork Tenderloin and Strawberry Salad

Filled with antioxidants and high levels of dietary fiber, strawberries are powerful little fruits.

BLT Club Salad

We’ve created a salad inspired by your favorite sandwich that you can enjoy anytime. There’s plenty of protein in the turkey and turkey bacon, lots of fiber in the mixed greens and garbanzos, and “good” fats in the avocado. Enjoy guilt free!
