Searching for a no-fail anti-inflammatory meal? Ditch the pasta and opt for a vitamin-packed salad instead. While salads often get a bad rap for being boring, we believe that falls on the cook. With an endless amount of add-ins, making a colorful and flavorful salad is easy.
To prove that a salad can be both flavorful and great for you, we came up with this mouthwatering Four-Layer Millet Roasted Beet Strawberry Salad. In this recipe, we strayed away from the traditional base of greens and used millet to add a unique flavor and consistency to the dish. This weeknight dinner can easily convert salad haters into enthusiasts when paired with fresh fruits and veggies like beets and strawberries. Served alone or as a side dish, it's an impressive recipe that will make a fantastic choice for your next anti-inflammatory meal. Because this salad is naturally vegan and gluten free, it reduces the risk of upsetting your body's digestive tract and instead reinforces the good gut bacteria already living in there.
When it comes to gut-friendly foods, miso tops the list. During the fermentation process, active cultures and good bacteria, known as probiotics, are created. These probiotics play an active role in keeping your digestive system working correctly. They also help fight off harmful bacteria which may have entered the body, reducing your risk of inflammation. In traditional miso soup, many of these probiotics are killed when the miso comes in contact with heat, which means your body doesn't get the chance to reap the fantastic benefits of this superfood.
To keep the good-for-you bacteria found in miso intact, we created this Miso and Tahini Cold Soba Noodle Salad. A refreshing and flavorful dish. This salad is delicious. Serve it with seared tofu, microgreens, avocado and snap peas for a gut-boosting treat your body will thank you for.
Note: if you're a fan of traditional miso soup, we suggest adding the miso in after the rest of the ingredients have been fully cooked and removed from the heat. Doing so will help protect the miso's probiotics and ensure that you receive all of its nutrients.
Looking to boost the anti-inflammatory benefits of your weeknight dinner recipes? Fish is a great place to start. Fish is rich in Omega-3 Fatty acids, a crucial component in keeping your body's inflammation levels low. For a tasty dinner recipe that your digestive system will love, flavor your fish with spices and pair it with whole foods like greens, grains and vegetables. Eating fish regularly is an excellent way to keep your gut healthy and expand your family's flavor pallet.
For a recipe that is so great, it will practically disappear off the plate, make this Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi. Organic coconut flour, shredded coconut and spices like ginger and ginger, and garlic are drizzled on mahi-mahi fillets to create a meal boasting delicious southeastern Asian flavors. Gluten free, high fiber, lactose free and soy free is a weeknight recipe that everyone can enjoy!
