Light, vegetable-forward recipes for salads, soups and simple meals that still taste like real food. Many dishes here are built around fresh produce, beans, lentils and lean proteins, from creamy white bean soup and carrot and red lentil soup to roasted chickpea salad, red cabbage salad with sumac and fig caprese salad.

Pasta salads and chicken salads with Greek yogurt or lemon dressings make filling lunches, and several recipes, such as turkey chili, are written for meal prep. A few lighter sweets use fruit, oats and honey instead of heavy cream. Most take 10 to 40 minutes, so you can pick a quick cold salad for a hot day or a pot of soup to portion for the week.
