Serving Suggestions
While many of these 500-calorie dinner recipes are designed to be all-encompassing and provide a complete meal on their own, some recipes benefit from the addition of side dishes to create a more well-rounded meal.
- HEALTHY WHOLE GRAIN SIDES OR SALADS: Consider incorporating healthy whole grains into your meal, such as quinoa, brown rice, or sorghum. These grains offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Create a colorful and satisfying grain salad, such as Farro Salad with Grilled Vegetables or a pilaf.
- SALADS AND STEAMED VEGETABLES: Fresh salads and steamed vegetables provide a refreshing and nutrient-rich addition to your protein-focused recipes. Toss together a vibrant green salad using a variety of lettuce leaves, spinach, or mixed greens. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a balsamic vinaigrette for a burst of flavor. Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or asparagus, retain their natural goodness and pair well with any protein. Season them with herbs, lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for some variety.
- SAUTÉED VEGETABLES: Try sautéing an assortment of vegetables. Heat a small amount of olive oil or a cooking spray in a pan, then add thinly sliced bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus. Season with herbs, garlic, or a splash of low-sodium soy sauce for added depth of flavor. The combination of tender-crisp sautéed vegetables and your protein choice will create a satisfying and visually appealing dish. Try Greek Sugar Snap Peas or Caramelized Cabbage.
- STIR-FRY SIDE DISHES: If you’re looking to infuse your meal with Asian-inspired flavors, stir-fried vegetables are an excellent choice. Utilize a mix of colorful vegetables like bok choy, snap peas, bell peppers, and carrots. Stir-fry them in a skillet or wok with a small amount of avocado oil, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Try Vegetable Quinoa Stir Fry or Quick Stir Fried Green Beans.
- ROASTED VEGETABLES: Try adding golden brown, roasted vegetables to your meal. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables, creating a delightful side dish. Choose an assortment of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or butternut squash. Toss them in olive oil, sprinkle with herbs and seasonings of your choice, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and slightly caramelized. Try Roasted Mini Potatoes, Roasted Mushrooms with Rosemary or Spicy Roasted Cauliflower.
