Green Pasta e Fagioli

This riff on the Italian classic comfort food gets its verdant color from kale two ways: blended into the base, and wilted among the pasta and white beans.

Gluten-Free Chickpea Gnocchi

How to make fluffy ricotta gnocchi that's also gluten-free? The secret is chickpea flour! These tender Italian dumplings are a cinch to make -- zero rolling, shaping or resting time required. It's great fun to pipe the dough into the pot; if you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.

Kale Salad With Apples and Cheddar

For a kale salad to be successful, use the most tender kale you can find and cut it into very thin filaments or chop it very finely (or both). Curly kale and Russian kale are more tender than black leaf kale. This is inspired by a wonderful salad I tried recently at the New York restaurant Northern Spy.

Salmon and Cherry Tomato Curry

Poaching salmon is a remarkably foolproof way to prepare a flavorful dinner, especially when you do so in a pot of rich and fragrant coconut milk, radiant from sweet cherry tomatoes and spicy from chile and ginger. If using a wild salmon such as sockeye, simmer over the lowest possible heat setting and stick to the lower end of the cooking window. The gentle approach of poaching prevents overcooking the salmon flesh, regardless of the variety chosen. As with most curries, rice is the answer underneath.

Healthy Banana Bread Muffins

A banana bread muffin so light, fluffy and tender, you'd never guess it's made with mostly whole-wheat flour. Using very ripe bananas keeps the muffins moist and minimizes the amount of sugar you add.

Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric

Spiced chickpeas are crisped in olive oil, then simmered in a garlicky coconut milk for an insanely creamy, basically-good-for-you stew that evokes stews found in South India and parts of the Caribbean. While the chickpeas alone would be good as a side dish, they are further simmered with stock, bolstered with dark, leafy greens of your choosing and finished with a handful of fresh mint. When shopping, be sure to avoid low-fat coconut milk, coconut milk meant for drinking or cream of coconut: All are very different and would not be suitable here.

Acai Breakfast Bowl

While acai bowls are relatively new in the United States, they've been a staple in Brazil since, well forever. Acai is a purple berrylike fruit of a palm tree native to Central and South America. It's packed with antioxidants (anthocyanins) and omega-3 fatty acids. We used unsweetened frozen puree, which has a pleasant flavor with slight olive oil notes. Add the traditional toppings and this bowl is loaded with fiber.

Broccoli Caesar Salad

You've never met a better, brighter riff on the classic Caesar than this raw broccoli and Napa cabbage twist. Just remember that while broccoli stems are tender and delicious, it’s important to cut away the dried-out base and peel the tough skin of thicker ones.

Here’s your answer to the question: “What can I make on Sunday night that will taste great for my 10:30 a.m. desk lunch on Wednesday?” This is precisely the work lunch you always wish you had packed, with lots of lentils to keep you full 'til at least 3 p.m., kale (for health!), salty olives, crunchy nuts, and just the right amount of cheese.

Sweet Potato Hummus

Adding water to this potato hummus recipe is key to a smooth and spoonable consistency.

Seared Sweet Potatoes With Chermoula

Boiling sweet potatoes instead of roasting them slows the rate at which their sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream, as does serving them in their jackets, which contain even more fiber. (Maintaining steady blood sugar levels can help with a range of health issues, from poor sleep to weight management to liver disease.) The somewhat flat flavor of sweet potatoes really benefits from a fresh herb sauce such as chimichurri, Italian salsa verde, zhug or North African chermoula. The potatoes can be boiled in advance, then reheated in the microwave and seared at the last minute, making this a quick light dinner with a small salad of young arugula or crisp chicories.

Tabbouleh

We think of tabbouleh as a bulgur salad with lots of parsley and mint. But real Lebanese tabbouleh is a lemony herb salad with a little bit of fine bulgur, an edible garden that you can scoop up with romaine lettuce heart leaves or simply eat with a fork. This will keep for a day in the refrigerator, though the bright green color will fade because of the lemon juice.
