Dish: Entrees
Mediterranean Antipasto Tuna Salad
What’s better than tuna with mayo? This recipe: no contest. Tuna’s salty flavor is genius with beans, veggies, and capers. With ingredients this flavorful, any dressing more than a little lemon juice and olive oil would be overkill. Tip: If you want to make this ahead, keep the greens separate until right before you serve.
Mediterranean Chicken Salad Pinwheels
These pinwheels are a fantastic way to serve wraps for kids, or to create a nice appetizer at a party. If what you’re after is a simple, delicious wrap for your own lunch, just skip the slicing and tuck the wrap into a sandwich container to go.
Black Bean Veggie Burgers
Vegetarian eating doesn’t have to be short on flavor, and these burgers are the proof in the pudding. They use cooked sweet potato as a binder, so plan them for the day after you’re making sweet potato and cook an extra so you can use leftovers to save time.
Honey-Thyme Salmon Foil Packets
Fish can be great for you, but if you’re looking for the best fish for sustainability and minimizing mercury intake (which is especially important for pregnant and nursing women and young children), look for wild-caught Alaskan salmon.

Pumpkin & White Bean Alfredo

Parmesan-Thyme Mushrooms
Mushrooms compete with meat for satiety, making them a brilliant choice for vegetarian main courses or sides to cut down on the meat on your plate. These particular mushrooms are bursting with flavor provided by fresh herbs, cheese, and a hint of wine. Tip: To make these a main course, reduce the number of servings.
