1. Grilled Mediterranean Chicken with Lemon and Herbs

Grilled Mediterranean Chicken with Lemon and Herbs

This Mediterranean chicken salad with lemon and herbs on the grill is almost perfect! This is a Greek salad bowl dinner that includes chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and avocados.

After seeing so many of them, I thought people might be sick of salad ideas. BUT. It looks like you’d like more big salads. A fresh Mediterranean salad is something that tastes so good you won’t be able to put your fork down. It sounds like an ad when I talk.

I try to use the same sauce or marinade every time I make a salad. A dish with two uses. It’s been years of making salads with different sauces and marinades for chicken and other meats. This has made my brain and taste buds even more confused. 

2. Greek Salad with Feta and Olives

Greek Salad with Feta and Olives

Crushed feta, Mediterranean olives, and fresh vegetables make up Greek Feta Salad. An easy recipe for a wholesome dinner salad Southwest Greece’s warmer weather brings in fresher, regional goods. My favorite foods are olives. The plump Greek olives are excellent and full of heart-healthy oil. Olive Tapenade, a common ingredient in muffaletta sandwiches, contains olives. Pitas with Mediterranean hummus are another delicious olive dish.

Table varieties like Messinia and Kalamata are excellent on Greek feta salads or by themselves! While crumbled feta cheese adds protein, Persian cucumber and tomatoes form a fantastic salad. Greek feta salad’s protein level makes it a terrific side dish or a whole meatless dinner!

3. Eggplant Caprese with Pesto

Eggplant Caprese with Pesto

Balsamic reduction, fresh mozzarella, basil pesto, and heirloom tomatoes topped fried eggplant rings. An ideal summertime dinner to eat outside. This crispy eggplant recipe reminds us of a refreshing and light caprese salad for a hot summer day. The eggplant’s panko bread balances the freshness of the mozzarella and tomatoes. Include fresh basil pesto for a successful combination.

Though grilling the eggplant might be a lighter choice, we fried it. A little mess and quick preparation characterize fried eggplant. Just place the eggplant in a pan partially covered with oil. Because we used a wet batter of flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and water, along with pre-seasoned panko breadcrumbs, our fried eggplant was golden and crunchy.

As you prepare the basil pesto and fry or grill the eggplants, assemble your stack. We topped the heirloom tomato slice with a crispy eggplant ring and a cheese slice. Try one layer for a lighter meal; double stacking is filling.

4. Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

In our household, movie evenings have been few lately. Every waking hour, Tony tends to his annual Croatian tomato garden by singing and pruning. This happens once a year in our house. I can’t complain, as I have plenty of juicy, fresh ingredients to cook with when the tomatoes begin to pour! With harvesting just getting underway this week, what better occasion to serve a bright feast heavy with tomatoes?

New Zealand is in full summer, as my recent posts may have indicated. This translates into a ton of summer salads, ice cream, and BBQ. The meal this week should expand your arsenal of quick, easy, and nutritious summer salads.

You might be familiar with the Middle Eastern mainstay, tabouli. This delectable summertime and gluten-free meal calls for cauliflower in place of bulgur wheat. Try this raw cauliflower salad right now! My Pomegranate Cauliflower Couscous Salad will most likely convert you. It takes just two minutes and produces delicious, low-energy, gluten-free sides that are a great way to eat more cauliflower.

5. Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes

Lovely and light pesto zucchini noodles. The dish combines bursting cherry tomatoes, dairy-free zucchini noodles, and avocado pesto. Simple dish, done in twenty-five minutes. Every time we want something light and tasty, we make pesto zucchini noodles. Neither salad nor spaghetti.

We microwave some zucchini noodles to add texture, but we also serve them raw. The avocado pesto is dairy-free, and you would never know. It’s simple and tastes strongly of fresh basil, thanks to the mixer.

During the summer, zucchini, tomatoes, and basil are in season, but you can find all the ingredients at the grocery store year-round. In the winter, we alternate this healthy supper with larger, celebratory feasts, soups, and stews.

6. Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers

Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skewers

These straightforward lemon, butter, and garlic shrimp kabobs are a hit with everyone. Their adaptability adds another benefit. Serve with your preferred sides, such as grilled broccoli or a Mexican chopped salad.

I like my summertime dinners to be kabobs. Though we’ve been known to grill in the snow, these are equally excellent baked or over a grill pan. They taste great with shrimp, fruit, vegetables, and meat!

Excellent presentation, and you can almost completely avoid utensil contamination. Anyone not enjoy stick food? Quick and easy, you’ll prepare garlic, lemon, and shrimp skewers again and again.

7. Feta-Stuffed Bell Peppers

Feta-Stuffed Bell Peppers

Feta-stuffed bell peppers are my favorites. A great friend made this recipe for us. After one bite, I asked for the recipe. I’ve been cooking stuffed bell peppers for years. Naturally, I changed this recipe to suit my tastes. The first cooking of the filling enhances the flavor of feta-stuffed bell peppers, while the addition of feta cheese completes the dish. It’s one of my favorite cheeses for quiches and hash. With a simple ground meat recipe, you can make a delicious supper.

You can use any mince. To make them, I use supermarket-available ground pig and beef. I want to try these with ground chicken or turkey. You can add zucchini or mushrooms if you like. Note that the filling-to-bell pepper ratio may alter, resulting in more or less filling.

8. Mediterranean Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

Mediterranean Tuna Salad Lettuce Wraps

Dinner or lunch will be great with this classic 10-minute dish. To let the other ingredients take center stage, we only added enough mayonnaise to keep the tuna salad together. The color and flavor of this tuna salad come from roasted red peppers and kalamata olives. Use the biggest, outside lettuce leaves; if you tear them, the filling will spill out. This meal is portable, too. When ready to dine, fill lettuce leaves with the tuna salad separately to preserve freshness.

9. Greek-style Lamb Meatballs with Tzatziki

Greek-style Lamb Meatballs with Tzatziki

My Greek-style lamb meatballs with Tzatziki have been a Greek Easter hit for years (until yesterday, when I was gone). Greek Easter has been my favorite for 11 years. Never mind that I’m 30% Greek and have never celebrated growing up! My Greek college friend invited me to her house for Greek Easter, and I was hooked. One of the best holidays.

The meatballs are basic. Maybe most of the materials are at home. If you like lamb, you’ll adore mint lamb! This recipe tastes great with any ground meat. The sauce is the secret. Feta Tzatziki dreams. I want this in all recipes forever. For leftovers or just because, serve them on pitas with lettuce and tomatoes, like chicken gyros.

10. Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip with Veggie Sticks

Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Dip with Veggie Sticks

Htipiti is a Greek roasted red pepper and feta dip or spread that is also known as Kopanisti or Tirokafteri, depending on the ingredients. Some variations include peperoncini, red cherry peppers or other spicy peppers instead of red bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, kalamata olives, and yogurt. Many recipes call for whisking the dip until smooth and creamy, but I like the rustic texture with chunks of feta, pepper, and garlic in every bite. As mentioned earlier, my dad serves it this way. Regardless of name or serving, the smoky roasted red peppers and tangy, salty feta cheese with a hint of spicy heat make a great combination.

11. Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon

Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon

Omega-3-rich foods include salmon and walnuts. At supper, serve walnut-crusted fish with roasted potatoes and a basic salad. The parts of every dish in this one enhance nourishment. Salmon is the star of the dish, and it is nutrient-dense. This supper provides about half of a day’s protein.

There is more vitamin B12 than you need for a day, and three-quarters of your antioxidant-rich selenium comes from wild-caught fish. Among the other antioxidants found in salmon is astaxanthin, which reduces inflammation. The USDA says that one 3.5-ounce serving of sockeye salmon provides 70% of your daily requirements for vitamin D. Omega-3 fatty acids are another heart-healthy component of salmon.

12. Greek Cauliflower Rice Pilaf

Greek Cauliflower Rice Pilaf

This Greek Cauliflower Pilaf is a twist on my favorite rice recipe. Lemon adds the perfect brightness to cauliflower rice. This recipe makes Greek power bowls with tasty sides. I recently discovered a chicken souvlaki dish that changed my life.

Because this chicken is so succulent and flavorful, I’ve been preparing it every week for months. This Greek cauliflower rice is the perfect accompaniment. Lemon and Greek seasoning make cauliflower rice taste fresh and tasty. I could eat cauliflower rice every day and never get bored.

13. Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Mediterranean-stuffed zucchini boats make a great low-carb vegetarian main dish! Fork-tender zucchini with Mediterranean flavors.

My Mediterranean-stuffed zucchini boats are filled with spinach and feta and baked in fresh tomato sauce. It’s a great way to use garden zucchini of any size. A bigger zucchini equals a more creamy, cheesy spinach filling. Before stuffing zucchini, try not to eat it!


Stuffed zucchini has numerous varieties. You can customize this recipe by adding or removing components. Nonetheless, I’ll make it Mediterranean, and my family loves this vegetarian version. It has texture and flavor contrasts, as well as plenty of vegetables.

14. White Bean Chicken Soup

White Bean Chicken Soup

A modern take on classic chicken soup, this garlicky white bean soup is boosted with jalapeño, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Veggie soup with rotisserie chicken! Grocery store pre-roasted chickens are really handy. You can make this white bean chicken soup in about an hour using precooked or leftover chicken. This recipe is a convenient option for chilly or rainy days. Please also see our easy chicken noodle soup recipe.

15. Cauliflower & Kale Frittata

Cauliflower & Kale Frittata

Spices, kale, and cauliflower rice make up the low-calorie Cauliflower Kale Frittata! A simple, four-ingredient, tasty protein breakfast is ready in less than thirty minutes. Low-carb, gluten-free, paleo. Delicious and easy to make. Trust me, I know it sounds odd to have eggs with kale and cauliflower rice. 

This delicious, gluten-free, high-protein, low-carb, low-calorie frittata is also Paleo-friendly. A frittata and an egg bake are different in what ways? For a frittata, you partially cook the eggs on the stovetop before baking them in the oven. You bake an egg casserole-style in the oven. Frittatas have no crust.

 16. Chicken Piccata

A pan-fried chicken cutlet with a lemon-butter sauce is known as “chicken piccata” if you grew up with parents who cooked frequently, like we did, or if you frequent Italian restaurants around America (hello, Olive Garden). But Italians may not have invented chicken piccata.

Scaloppine, “thin slices of meat (such as veal) sautéed or coated with flour and fried,” may have inspired this Italian-American invention. While Italians often treat pan-fried meat with a lemon and butter sauce, capers serve as a great complement. Whatever its genesis, any home cook should have chicken piccata in their repertoire.

17. Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms

Creamy Chicken and Mushrooms

Mushrooms and creamy chicken were spoon-cooked. The chicken dinner is the day’s winner. Great crispy-skinned chicken thighs served with a creamy mushroom sauce infused with fresh thyme. Surprise yourself!

Whether cooking for a major occasion or a weeknight supper, this recipe is easy to follow and guaranteed to impress. The sauce saturated every bite of cooked whole wheat pasta. It’s delicious by itself, over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty toast.

This creamy chicken and mushroom recipe includes tips for crispy chicken thighs and improving the sauce’s flavor.

18. Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles

Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles

Scampi is healthy when prepared as an easy, low-carb evening meal. All the flavor of the original dish is there in my healthier shrimp scampi, but with less fat and calories. Pasta, garlic, butter, shrimp, and white wine make the original shrimp scampi. For my healthful shrimp scampi, I utilize butter, garlic, and shrimp, but I substitute zucchini noodles for pasta and vegetable broth. Overall, calories and carbs are lower. Though lighter, it keeps the flavor of the dish.

Easy and tasty, the recipe calls for zucchini noodles and prawns instead of spaghetti. Low in carbs, packed with protein, and quick to prepare, this is a great and healthy supper. Recall that shrimp are a low-calorie source of vitamins, such as B12, that our bodies require to function properly. Tossing the zoodles with butter and garlic flavors the shrimp.

19. Keto Greek Salad Stuffed Avocados

Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini Boats

A tasty keto southwest salad Stuffed avocados contains a tasty Southwest salad of tomatoes, turkey, olives, cheddar jack cheese, Southwest mayo, and fiery black olives. The aromas meld, and the cheese melts in the cooked avocados, creating a truly remarkable Southwest delicacy. These baked avocado boats are tonight’s dinner.

If you’ve never roasted an avocado and the thought makes you doubt my sanity, then this is the recipe for you. My initial recommendation would be this baked avocado. Simple even. Yum. Savory.

To determine whether I could cook my avocado, I had to consult Google. Taste of Home’s Southwest sandwich dish, which called for avocado slices, initially inspired these baked avocados.

20. Mediterranean Low Carb Broccoli Salad

Mediterranean Low Carb Broccoli Salad

This Mediterranean low-carb broccoli salad is a simple, wholesome, high-protein supper or potluck side! Using Greek yogurt means you won’t miss mayo!

Broccoli salad. Whether it be cashew curry, Greek, or Asian broccoli salad, I want an entire bowl. I’d be happy if you added apples to my Greek yogurt-topped, healthy broccoli apple salad.

With fresh, fragrant herbs, salty olives, chewy sun-dried tomatoes, crunchy sunflower seeds, zesty lemon, and tangy artichoke, this broccoli dish is banging.

21. Mediterranean Chickpea Soup

Mediterranean Chickpea Soup

With chunks of sweet potatoes, robust vegetables, and strong spices like turmeric and fresh ginger, this chickpea soup meal is comforting and nourishing. The next day is even better! Vegetarian, gluten-free. I love how Mediterranean cooking can transform simple pantry staples like a few cans of chickpeas into a delectable dish like this comforting soup.

Bits of velvety sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and bell peppers add color, texture, and flavor to this vegan soup meal. Chickpeas are filled with protein, and they create a pleasant, nutritious soup. I love chickpeas, which is why many of my recipes call for earthy, fruity spices like turmeric, coriander, and cumin. With grated fresh ginger, this chickpea soup becomes robust and bright!

22. Mediterranean Tuna Salad

Mediterranean Tuna Salad

This salad combines two of my favorites: Tuna and White Bean Salad and Super Fresh Cucumber Salad. A tart homemade vinaigrette and just enough crumbled feta top the salad, which begins with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley and includes tuna and white beans for protein. 

Besides keeping for days in the refrigerator, You can add, swap, or leave out ingredients as needed.You can eat this well-rounded salad as a stand-alone meal, stuff it into a pita or wrap it, or turn it into a pasta salad by adding cooked spaghetti.

24. Keto Instant Pot Greek Cauliflower Rice

Keto Instant Pot Greek Cauliflower Rice

Only cauliflower rice is effective. Jen Fisch’s new cookbook, Keto in an Instant, features wonderful Greek cauliflower rice. A mainstay of the keto diet is cauliflower rice, says Fisch. It pairs well with a variety of foods and cooks quickly in an Instant Pot. Its flavor is mild, so you can paint it with a variety of delicious combinations. I generally have the ingredients, and I love Greek flavors, so I make this dish a lot.

25. Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats

Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats

Scraped with a fork, tender roasted spaghetti squash produces delicious angel hair-like “noodles.” It’s absolutely amazing. You can use spaghetti squash in lieu of noodles to make Asian-inspired recipes like my Whole30 Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai and protein-rich recipes like my Spaghetti Squash Shrimp Scampi.

I roasted the squash, then refilled each squash dish with the “noodles” flavored with crushed tomatoes, garlic, ricotta cheese, and lean ground beef, a la lasagna. Life is short, so I added more mozzarella and ricotta, and I cooked it for a few more minutes to get a golden, bubbling finish. 

26. Keto Pasta with Lemon-Kale Chicken

Keto Pasta with Lemon-Kale Chicken

You really want spaghetti on a weeknight. If you were on a keto diet, boiling a box of spaghetti, topping it with tomato sauce, and calling it a night would be too carb-heavy. Fortunately, Dana Carpender, author of The Keto for One Cookbook, is rescuing the day with her easy and delectable keto pasta dish with lemon-kale chicken. Not to mention, each dish only has 9 grams of carbohydrates.

27. Easy Greek Turkey Burgers

EASY GREEK TURKEY BURGERS

These Greek turkey burgers are nightly favorites! A tzatziki-inspired sauce, feta, roasted red peppers, and ground turkey make up the burger. For those watching their carb intake, eat these burgers by themselves or top them with bread for the best sandwich!
Since the days are shorter, quick and easy dinners should be on weekly menus. Burger night is my favorite ever. I also love eating food with a Greek influence. My recipe for Greek Chicken Bowls has been a favorite among family and friends for years. My ideal dinner was simple, fresh, high-protein, and quick to prepare—from refrigerator to table in less than thirty minutes. Here, Greek turkey burgers come into their own. You will love these, I am sure of it!

Ground turkey is just boring. Delectable mix-ins like feta, shredded onion, and roasted red pepper give the patty flavor and help to keep the burger wet since ground turkey may be dry and bland. The Greek turkey burgers reheat well. I can make a meal or two and save it for easy lunches all week long. Though I usually have trouble figuring out what to eat for supper, turkey burgers fill me up.

28. Mediterranean Roasted Cabbage Steaks with Pesto

MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH PESTO

You are not here seeking a steak substitute; roasted cabbage steaks are not steak. After slathering the cabbage with pesto and two kinds of cheese, bake it. Many foods taste better with an oily, herb-filled, cheese-laden concoction, such as pesto with feta and additional Parmesan cheese. To quote a lesser blogger, “duh.”

This amazing discovery has led me to put my butter crock on cabbage duty and roast and pesto it like my smothered Greek broccoli. Roasted cabbage surprises some people (including myself). Roasting a cabbage steak in a hot oven and soaking it in a wonderful taste gives it a new, addictive texture with sweetness and suppleness.

29. Tuna Deviled Eggs

TUNA DEVILED EGGS

Eggs are such a great food that it takes little time or effort to dress them up. I’ve created several versions over the years for a variety of events, and I still like experimenting with tastes.

Most likely, your pantry already has most of these items. With a little crunch from the pickle and celery, the filling is creamy and tangy. The fresh herbs infuse a happy brightness into the whole flavor group of pantry basics, and tuna goes well with eggs.
There are many more choices if tuna isn’t your thing. My second favorite is sautéed mushrooms and/or bacon-topped caramelized onions. The combination is simply amazing. The following day, lunch would be fantastic, with deviled eggs as well.

30. Spanish Stuffed Endives with Smoked Salmon

SPANISH STUFFED ENDIVES WITH SMOKED SALMON

These endives are easy and delicious, paired with avocado, blue cheese, and smoked salmon. These Spanish stuffed endives are perfect for a holiday or dinner party.

To balance the bitterness of endives, I want strong tastes. They are light and crisp, countering the heavier fare of our large family get-togethers. Though the combinations are many, blue cheese and endives mix well together. Rice, bean salads, goat cheese, almonds, grapes, and honey are among the other kinds. My go-to endive stuffing is salmon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and chopped onions mixed with apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Empty the mixture’s endives and wash them. They are excellent with a salad or a basic dinner.

Despite my regular preparation, I often serve this endive salad on special occasions. We like these for a light supper at home when we don’t feel like cooking. Savor this simple recipe and experiment with fillings. 

31. Garlic Mushrooms with Herbs

GARLIC MUSHROOMS WITH HERBS

Throughout Spain, garlic mushrooms, known as champiñones al ajillo, are a popular tapa or racion. Our racion, or platter to share, usually includes garlic mushrooms, one of my favorites. It’s tasty, quick to cook, healthy, and has wonderful leftovers.

It’s fascinating because Spain has a long history of mushroom harvesting, even if I use white button mushrooms from supermarkets. When our kids were little, we called it mushroom hunting. Over twenty years ago, we relocated to Bilbao, Spain. At first, we wondered what rural residents were gathering in their wicker baskets on rainy spring and autumn mornings. We sought wild mushrooms in fields and off woodland routes. Boletus, niscalos, and setas de cardo are desirable varieties that we can recognize with a guide and enjoy in Spanish cuisine.

Protein- and fiber-rich mushrooms provide a low-calorie main component for this easy meal. Slice them and sauté in hot oil with plenty of garlic and a little dried chile pepper. Add a splash of dry white wine, fresh parsley, and lemon juice to the sautéed mushrooms. I usually serve it on a little toasted bread with manchego or blue cheese shavings.

32. Spinach and Mushroom Omelette

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM OMELETTE

Those of you who have read Mediterranean Living are aware of my love of edible greens. There are plenty of greens in the Mediterranean diet and wherever else the healthiest people live. Wild edible greens known as “horta,” found in Greek highlands and woodlands, are a staple in spinach pies (spanakopita) and horta with potatoes (recipe here). I like this spinach and mushroom omelette, and I prefer my Mediterranean diet breakfasts to be veggie-heavy.

Of course, every opportunity invites creativity. Swap out the spinach with mustard, dandelion greens, or Swiss chard from the refrigerator. If you’re not fond of mushrooms, try red pepper. Should you so desire, top the omelet with cheese! Though various cheeses work well, I like this omelette with crumbled feta.

For a Mediterranean Diet “stroller” breakfast, wrap this spinach and mushroom omelette in a big wrap. Serve this with sliced tomatoes and some balsamic vinegar or sauce for an excellent meal. For a portable breakfast, wrap the omelet with aluminum foil.

33. Beef with Spinach in the Skillet

BEEF WITH SPINACH IN THE SKILLET

As with other dark leafy greens, spinach is a staple of the Mediterranean diet. As an anti-inflammatory, it has been shown to lower the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and eye problems. We only consume spinach seasonally, and we grow it in our gardens on the Greek island of Crete. Here, we prepare spinach, a wintertime vegetable, in a variety of traditional ways. This dish takes under an hour to prepare and is the ideal blend of really tasty and simple. Serve with a glass of red wine, a salad, and/or bread.

34. Baba Ganoush (Eggplant dip)

BABA GANOUSH (EGGPLANT DIP)

For traditional baba ganoush, roast eggplants until tender, remove the insides, and then mash with spices, garlic, and tahini. With pita or crackers, this eggplant dip makes a terrific party appetizer or snack. Eggplant season is here, and the Middle Eastern eggplant dip known as baba ganoush (sometimes written baba ghanouj) is among the tastiest things you can make with it.
To prepare baba ganoush, cut gigantic globe eggplants—which resemble enormous dark purple eggs—in half and bake or broil them.

Next, remove the meaty interiors with a spoon and blend them with olive oil, garlic, sesame tahini, lemon juice, and seasonings. Offer this dip with crackers or toasted pita bread. One excellent gluten-free choice is a slice of cucumber or celery. Because you’ll want to devour it all and then some, make a bunch.

35. Homemade Spiced Nuts

HOMEMADE SPICED NUTS

Cinnamon and sugar make spiced nuts the perfect mix of sweet and savoury.  These nuts would make a great holiday gift or snack for a party.

When you go to the fair or farmer’s market, have you ever smelled the deliciously sweet and spicy nuts cooking at the fair or farmer’s market? While you bake these, your house will smell like that, and they taste just as good as they smell.

Making spiced nuts is quick and easy, and the sugar and cinnamon will make them taste great. Whatever nut you like, pecans and almonds work best. You can make either one or both!

You can make them quickly and easily for the holidays, and enjoy them with your family, at a party, or as a gift for a neighbor.

36. Pesto Salmon

PESTO SALMON

Pesto salmon is the best you’ll prepare! Baking this salmon fillet in fresh basil pesto and roasted tomatoes makes it moist and tender.

Check out this 3-ingredient pesto salmon dish if you need fast weeknight dinners like me! Recipes with minimal ingredients inspired my new cookbook, Skinnytaste Simple. With a veggie and salad, you can make a nutritious supper quickly. Air Fryer Salmon Bites, Baked Salmon, and Asian-Glazed Salmon are additional salmon dishes you’ll love.

Give this pesto salmon a try, and you’ll become addicted! I like fresh basil pesto, although the grocery store has numerous varieties. First-time fishermen should try salmon. It must not be overcooked! Inside, it should be 135 degrees. The fillet you select is also important. My suggestion box has advice on picking the finest salmon fillet.

37. Salmon & Avocado Salad

SALMON & AVOCADO SALAD

My favorite food right now is salad, because it’s warmer outside. What I normally want when I need a quick, healthy, low-carb meal is a big green salad with salmon, peppers, and avocado. You can find more salad ideas in previous posts.

Any cooking method that keeps the salmon moist and soft is the best way to cook it. Be mindful of the cooking times, as overcooked fish tends to taste dry and unappealing. This “Quick Broil” method is one of my favorite ways to cook salmon. I also really like using an air fryer to cook salmon. That’s what I did with this Air Fryer Parmesan Salmon recipe: I cooked it at 400F for 7 to 10 minutes. Following the steps I used for this grilled fish bruschetta recipe will help you cook the fish.

38. Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry

MUSHROOM & TOFU STIR-FRY

Vegan tofu and mushroom stir-fry is tasty and ready in under 15 minutes. Tofu soaks up the earthy tastes of mushrooms and fresh bok choy, covered in salty soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and aromatic garlic, to provide a complete supper for hectic weeknights. Serve over steaming rice with additional sesame seeds.

Tofu and mushroom stir-fry is a vegan dinner that takes less than 15 minutes (start with preparing the rice). This job cooks everything, so there are a few dishes to clean. It’s ideal for hectic weeknights when you’re tired and short on time.

Tofu is popular for a reason. It’s a top plant-based protein and meat alternative. It also includes vitamin B1, iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and many other minerals.

40. Chicken Florentine

CHICKEN FLORENTINE

Chicken Florentine tastes restaurant-quality yet is easy to cook at home in 30 minutes. Cook the delicate chicken cutlets in a creamy spinach sauce using just one pan. Serve hot spaghetti, rice, or crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

Flouring chicken breast cutlets gives them a crust and gives the sauce substance. Sautéed mushrooms, garlic, Parmesan, and wilted spinach combine to create a cream sauce that enhances the flavor of chicken. It tastes like creamed spinach with chicken and mushrooms, but it’s not overly rich.

Chicken breast may be dull, so I need to make it exciting for supper. Yes, this simple chicken Florentine with creamy spinach sauce worked! This variant of Fish Florentine and Marry Me Chicken goes well with spaghetti, roasted potatoes, or any grain. It’s simple to prepare, and my finicky husband liked it!
