Our twist on the classic Hawaiian snack has plenty of colorful toppings, but you can mix and match with whatever you have. The avocado is rich in monounsaturated fat, and the fish (tuna or salmon) has anti-inflammatory omega-3s; both are heart-healthy and satisfying. Since the fish isn’t cooked, buy sushi grade.

This dinner is a weeknight hero: It’s quick, the whole thing cooks on the grill, and there’s barely any chopping. Grilling kale—which is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and anticancer compounds— makes the leaves tender and deliciously smoky. Sweet cherries and tangy goat cheese balance everything out.

Pantry staples like tuna, beans, and whole-wheat linguine are full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats and make up the base of this dish. Folding in peppery arugula and topping it all off with a combination of walnuts, parsley, and lemon zest brightens everything up and adds more vitamins and minerals, too.

Curry paste, garlic, ginger, and scallions come together to form a deeply flavorful bowl; the corn salad on top brings texture and crunch. And thanks to the tofu, brown rice, and cashews, this completely plant-based meal has 18 grams of protein and more than 20 percent of your daily iron needs.

High in protein but low in calories, shrimp is full of nutrients, such as iron, iodine, selenium, and vitamin B12. We’ve seasoned it with ras el hanout, a North African mix of spices that brings warm flavor and healthy compounds, too.

These fresh and flavorful wraps are inspired by larb, the signature dish of Laos that is also popular in Northeastern Thailand. Using cabbage for the cups and chopping up and adding more to the filling gives these extra fiber as well as vitamins C and K.
