Brussels sprouts Caesar with garlicky walnuts

 

If you want to show people how addictively delicious health food can be, serve them this salad. Even if you think you do not like Brussels sprouts, this salty, crunchy salad will make you a believer.

Sheet pan harissa tofu and veggies

 

On its own, this is a flavourful and protein-rich light meal. Served with a whole grain like wheat berries or millet, it is hearty enough to satisfy even big appetites.

These are nut-free and perfect for lunch boxes—children might not even realize they’re healthy food.
