Time to dust off that air fryer and prepare a dish that the whole family will love! Cauliflower and chickpeas cook together, in a fraction of the time you would need for a traditional oven, and turn into crunchy deliciousness.

Crispy Blackened Tempeh meets naturally sweet potatoes meets creamy avocado meets crunchy kale for an exquisite taste and texture experience.

This salad is sure to be a winner with guests at your next summer picnic. It’s bursting with color, flavor, and fun textures from the carrots, cabbage, and cashews.

Bottom line? Your guests’ bellies will be happy while you feel good knowing that you’re nourishing them well.

Millet has a very delicate flavor and is easy to prepare, making it a very versatile grain that can be made into a breakfast cereal, grain bowl, bread (using millet flour), and tossed in a salad, like this Thai-inspired delight. What’s more, it has 6 grams of protein per cup and is packed with minerals like iron, selenium, and zinc!

This meal is a great example of how you can optimize plant-based nutrition in a salad. As you probably know, you can get lots of protein from nuts and seeds. Walnuts have 4 grams of protein per ounce and come with other essential nutrients like fiber, essential fatty acids, and phytonutrients. Tahini has almost 3 grams of protein per tablespoon plus calcium, copper and selenium. Amaranth is a pseudograin with more protein than any other grain at 9 grams per cooked cup. And, kale has boatloads of other nutrients like beta carotene, iron, and calcium. This salad is nourishing and satisfying!

Fun fact about buckwheat: It’s actually a cousin of rhubarb, so not technically a grain at all. But its nutrients, nutty flavor, and appearance have allowed it to be classified as a grain.

While this bakes, you will be enchanted with the aromatic mingling of nutty coconut sauce infused with lime, ginger, and curry. It is a deeply flavorful dish that is also almost effortless in preparation. Everything comes together lickety-split and you have an exotic bean entrée to serve over rice!
