The loaded deli bagel works perfectly as an instant toast topper. Greek yogurt has the same tang and richness as cream cheese, and you don’t have to wait for it to soften. Sprinkle with additional chives for more punch. Ingredients 2 tablespoons plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives 1 (1-oz.) slice […]
Think of chopped falafel as a tasty, protein-packed crouton—it adds texture to the salad and turns a simple side into a substantial main dish. We chose a Mediterranean theme here, but you could use any nuts, cheeses, or vegetables you like. Serve with (what else?) toasted whole-wheat pita wedges and creamy hummus, or simply toasted […]
To get wide, even strips from all sides, slightly rotate the cucumber and carrot after you remove each ribbon with a vegetable peeler.

Dinner doesn’t get much easier, or more fun, than sheet pan nachos. The pan does double duty: Toast the chips first, then pile high with toppings and return to the oven to melt the cheese and heat everything through. Here the Mexican classic takes a detour to Greece with pita chips, a shredded Greek salad, […]
Texture is the most satisfying element of a great salad. Crunchy and crisp vegetables signify freshness—they taste as vibrant as they look. Here we dial up the crunch with crisp romaine hearts, sliced cucumber, and coarsely chopped almonds (which lend much more texture than sliced or slivered nuts).
