No Cook Black Bean Salad 

The dressing for this vegan black bean salad gets its creaminess from avocado puree. Any salad mix  will do, but  if you want to add some peppery flavor to this hearty salad, try arugula.

There are seemingly as many variations of grain bowls as there are stars, and you can't go wrong with them. But we like the classic, simple dish with hummus, quinoa, avocado, and lots of veggies. 

Lentil Stew with Salsa Verde 

This healthy vegetarian recipe is hearty and filling. Don't skip the parsley sauce (salsa verde), which is easy to make and adds a spicy kick that balances the flavor of the lentil stew.  French green lentils are preferred for this stew because they don't fall apart when cooked. However, regular brown lentils (available in most supermarkets) can also be used.

Bean and Butternut Tacos with Green Salsa 

Beans and roasted butternut squash make a great vegetarian taco filling. Use fresh, high-quality chili powder and Mexican oregano for best flavor. Look for both at Latin American markets or in the  spice section of a well-stocked health food store. 

Spaghetti Squash with Tomato Basil Sauce 

Substituting pasta for spaghetti squash  is a great way to cut  carbs and calories in this flavorful vegan dinner. Here we pair the squash with a simple fresh tomato sauce. If desired, spice up the sauce with crushed red pepper flakes, Kalamata olives, and/or capers. 

Pan-seared steak with crispy herbs and endive 

This easy dinner takes just 20 minutes to prepare, making it a great weeknight meal. Cooking the herbs in the skillet with the steak allows their flavor to infuse the meat and create a crunchy garnish. After the steak and herbs are pan-seared, the endive salad is also cooked in the same pan, making this a healthy dinner with minimal cleanup. READ MORE
