Spaghetti Squash with Roasted Tomatoes, Beans & Almond Pesto
Looking at a tangle of spaghetti squash tricks your brain into thinking you’re about to eat a serving of eggy noodles, when in fact, you get a nice veggie-packed alternative. Giving tomatoes a stint in a hot oven brings out their natural sweetness.
No-Cook Black Bean Salad
The dressing for this hearty vegan salad gets its creaminess from blended avocado. Any mix of salad greens will work well, but try arugula if you want to add a peppery kick.
Chickpea & Quinoa Grain Bowl
Keep things classic and simple with hummus, quinoa, avocado and loads of veggies in this yummy grain bowl.
Salmon with Roasted Vegetables & Quinoa
This recipe has everything you want in a complete meal: omega-3-rich salmon, protein-packed quinoa and lots of vegetables all drizzled with a maple-lemon dressing.
Southwestern Salad with Black Beans
Here we top salad greens with black beans, sweet corn and grape tomatoes and bring it all together with a tangy avocado-lime dressing for some classic Southwest flavor.
Stuffed Sweet Potato with Hummus Dressing
Hearty yet simple to prepare, this stuffed sweet potato with black beans, kale and hummus dressing is a fantastic 5-ingredient lunch for one!
Salmon Couscous Salad
This easy salad is designed to be made with precooked or leftover salmon, and is packed with wholesome ingredients like mushrooms, eggplant and spinach.
Rainbow Grain Bowl with Cashew Sauce
This vibrant bowl is packed with nutrients to keep you full for hours. Look for precooked lentils in the refrigerated section of the produce department.
Avocado & Shrimp Chopped Salad
The smoky flavors of grilled shrimp and corn in this chopped salad are a tasty match for the creamy cilantro dressing.
Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl
This flavorful burrito bowl features grilled chicken coated in a spicy chipotle glaze. Loaded with vegetables and hearty quinoa.
Ancho Chicken Breast with Black Beans, Peppers & Scallions
Here we rub chicken with ancho chile powder, a spice made from dried poblano peppers. It adds mild heat and subtle smokiness, but you can use regular chili powder here instead.
Grilled Marinated Flank Steak Salad
Grilled flank steak is served over salad greens with sweet corn, peppers, and tomatoes, and topped with a fresh cilantro dressing.
Zucchini Noodles with Quick Turkey Bolognese
Forgo regular pasta for spiralized zucchini “noodles” in these make-ahead meals. The zoodles quickly turn tender-crisp as the veggie-packed Bolognese warms in the microwave.
Ham and Broccoli Topped Baked Potato
Jazz up your lunch time with a savory ham and broccoli topping for a new spin on the classic loaded potato.
Superfood Chopped Salad with Salmon & Creamy Garlic Dressing
Curly kale forms the base of this salad, but you could use chard or spinach. Add a multitude of chopped veggies, such as broccoli, cabbage and carrots and finish with protein-rich salmon and a drizzle of creamy yogurt dressing to bring it all together.
Four-Bean & Pumpkin Chili
This vegetarian chili has a fragrant touch of cinnamon for added flavor and gets a boost of protein from four types of beans.
Chicken & Cucumber Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce
We love the crunch from sliced cucumber and jicama in these savory lettuce wraps with simple peanut sauce.
