Light, healthy meals to make before heavy holiday eating

Easy Healthy Inside-Out Burrito

by Amanda A. Becker from San Jose, CA

A flavorful guilt-free dinner. The garnishes in this recipe are a must. They bring together the whole dish. There’s a little kick from the enchilada sauce but nothing overpowering. It’s everything you love about a burrito without the tortilla. If you can’t find Trader Joe’s corn salsa, use a small can of corn and mix with your favorite salsa. Get the recipe here.

Corn Chip Black-Eyed and Green Pea Salad

by Lisa G. Sweet Pantry Gal from Buffalo, NY

The combination of black-eyed peas and sweet peas makes this different from any pea salad you’ve tried. Mixing in the crumbled bacon and crushed corn chips right before serving keeps them crisp. They also add a salty flavor. The slightly sweet and tangy dressing is creamy and brings the ingredients together. Great for summer potlucks, picnics, and cookouts. Click here for the recipe.

Glazed Salmon with Mango Salsa

by Katrina Freed from Newark, DE

This is an elegant dish that will make it look like you spent all day in the kitchen but is really simple to prepare. The salsa is a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors and fresh flavors. Mango shines through with its added sweetness. Salt and pepper season the fish perfectly. The maple glaze adds just enough sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor. Fresh and light, this is a delightful dinner. Here’s the recipe.

Citrus & Feta Salad, Homemade Honey-Lime Dressing

by Melissa Buchanan-Smith from Clarkston, MI

Yum! This citrus salad is different and delightfully refreshing. With a honey-citrus flavor and a mild Dijon tang, we loved the salad dressing. The mix of greens with sweet clementines and pomegranate arils (seeds) is so delicious. Feta cheese crumbles and sunflower seeds add a little salt that balances the sweetness of the fruit. For extra flavor, add grilled chicken to the top for a complete meal. This salad makes healthy taste good. Click here for the recipe.

Air Fryer Pizza Chicken

by Robyn Bruce from Linglestown, PA

The blend of seasonings in Robyn’s creative air fryer chicken pizza is spot on. You’ll forget you’re even eating chicken. It really does taste like pizza… but with a little less guilt. We tested with pepperoni, but add your favorite topping. A super simple dinner recipe. Here’s the recipe.

Mom’s Beef Barley Soup

by Deb Lund from Rhinelander, WI

This beef barley soup is filled with a medley of veggies and tender bites of beef. Pearled barley acts as sponges while simmering and soaking up the savory flavors of the soup. Hearty and filling, this homemade soup makes a tasty meal on a cold day and will quickly become a family favorite. Get the recipe here.
