Iced Turmeric Latte

This super-flavorful drink, also known as golden milk, is a sweeter, dairy-free take on traditional Indian Haldi Doodh (Turmeric Milk).

Tuna Poke

The real key here is to use the best-quality tuna you can find. When in doubt, ask your fishmonger if he would eat it raw. If the answer is no, neither should you.

Sweet Onion–Marinated Skirt Steak

The white vinegar’s acidity curbs the onion’s bite and highlights its sweetness, resulting in the perfect marinade.

BA's Best Masala Chai

Baby Romaine and Hot Smoked Salmon Salad

The not-so-secret formula behind Sweetgreen and other DIY salad spots? And the key to making this smoked salmon recipe? It's called mise en place. Prep the components in advance, then put it all together later.

Roasted Veg with Nutritional Yeast

Try this as a side, a snack, in a frittata, folded into a grain salad, in a hash with bacon, etc. etc. etc.

Vadouvan-Carrot Yogurt

Vadouvan is sweeter and more aromatic than the typical curry, but Madras curry powder will work in a pinch.

Caramelized Shallot Dip

Like a lighter riff on a classic French onion dip, this yogurt-based dip is just begging for chips or crackers. The texture will make you pause before reaching for sour cream–based ever again. We suggest using low-fat Greek yogurt (we like Fage and Wallaby brands). Fat-free is astringent and chalky, and the richness of full-fat can drown out other flavors.

Herbed Chickpeas

Crispy, salty, creamy, and full of protein (really!), these chickpeas should be a staple in your kitchen.

Cauliflower with Pumpkin Seeds, Brown Butter, and Lime

The perks of being a cauliflower: When the veg is deeply roasted and drizzled with butter, there are many.

Meaty mushrooms compliment nutty, chewy grains in this savory dish.

Seeded Whole Grain Soda Bread

This energy-sustaining bread makes beautiful toast.

Blistered Green Beans With Tomato-Almond Pesto
