Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Walnuts

Walnuts, tahini, dill and lemon make an irresistible, earthy sauce for roasted cauliflower in this healthy salad recipe. Serve this cauliflower salad with hummus, grilled chicken and pita for a Middle Eastern-inspired healthy dinner.

Hummus-Stuffed Mini Bells

Cute mini bell peppers are stuffed with protein-rich hummus in this easy, handheld snack recipe.

Falafel Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

Deep-fried falafel can be a total grease bomb. But these pan-seared falafel still get crispy in just a few tablespoons of oil with equally satisfying results. Be sure to use dried, instead of canned, chickpeas in this healthy recipe—canned chickpeas add too much moisture.

Your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.
