Ginger-and-Lemon-Steamed Striped Bass with Fennel Salad

Credit: © Quentin Bacon
Go to Recipe

Laurent Gras uses ginger, fennel and lemon to flavor his lean, protein-rich striped bass as it steams; then he serves it over a lemony shaved-fennel salad, an excellent source of vitamin C. “Instead of using oil or butter, I like to steam fish with aromatic ingredients,” Gras says. “You get as much flavor this way—usually more.”

Green-Lentil Curry

Go to Recipe

Many of Madhur Jaffrey’s books have an Indian slant, but she’s most famous for her 1999 tome Madhur Jaffrey’s World Vegetarian. While she often follows the Indian tradition of serving several small dishes together, the lentil-vegetable curry here is a Western-style main course. Eaten over rice with yogurt, it’s a very satisfying meal.

Beet, Fennel and Jicama Salad with Macadamia Nut Dressing

Go to Recipe

Not only are macadamia nuts a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, but when they’re pureed, they also serve as an ingeniously creamy base for dairy-free salad dressings.

Beet-and-Blood-Orange Salad with Mint

Go to Recipe

To give this refreshing salad Palestinian flavor, Sam Mogannam seasons the dressing with ground sumac, a tangy Middle Eastern spice. While the color of golden beets contrasts nicely with dark red blood orange sections, any beet variety—from standard red ones to the white-and-pink striped chioggia—will be delicious.

Roasted Delicata Squash with Quinoa Salad

Credit: © John Kernick
Go to Recipe

Quinoa is definitely a superfood: A grain-like seed, it’s a “complete” protein containing all eight essential amino acids (another plus: it cooks much more quickly than most grains). To create a terrific vegetarian main course, Michael Symon of Cleveland’s Lola tosses quinoa with arugula, apple, raisins and fresh herbs, then spoons the salad into a halved baked squash (a great source of iron and vitamins A and C).
