This salad is ideal for cold grilled steak, as reheating may overcook the meat or cause the basil and arugula to wilt. Grilling the red onion adds another layer of char and a bit of sweetness to counter the tartness of the vinaigrette. Ingredients Cooking spray 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices […]
It may seem too good to be true, but it’s not: This impressive, full plate requires only 5 ingredients (water, oil, salt, and pepper are considered freebies). Microwaved sweet potatoes are sliced into medallions, brushed with oil, and lightly seared so they become satisfyingly steak-like. The creamy, nutty sauce adds richness, and the lemon-dressed arugula-chickpea […]

The white balsamic won’t discolor the shrimp or bright veggies. For something a little sharper, substitute white wine vinegar. Ingredients 4 cups loosely packed baby arugula 1 cup (1/4 x 3-inch) julienne-cut red bell pepper 1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrot 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper […]
Just a bit of a rich and pungent cheese can go quite a long way. Tossing hot pasta with a few ounces of creamy Brie makes for a light, luscious, and flavorful sauce to coat this abundant bowl of chicken, fresh veggies, and whole-grain noodles. Ingredients 6 ounces uncooked whole-wheat fusilli pasta 1 medium shallot, […]
Just a hint of char on the asparagus adds fantastic complexity to this simple 5-ingredient spring salad. Look for medium stalks rather than pencil-thin ones—those would char and dry out too quickly. A soft-boiled egg adds protein and richness; let the slightly runny yolks mingle with the rest of the salad before enjoying. Whole-milk Greek […]

We love the green-on-green mix of crisp-tender haricots verts, peas, and protein-packed edamame. You could sub asparagus or regular green beans for the haricots verts, just remember they may need a minute longer to boil. Instead of tossing in the tomatoes (which would weigh down the delicate arugula mixture), we build the salad on top […]
