After a full eight days of fried treats on Chanukah, we're in need of some light, fresh, and GREEN foods to reset! 

It can be hard to go from all that delicious comfort food to a green salad, though- we get it. 

With the help of flavor-packed ingredients like tahini, basil, feta, and salsa, you'll find it's a much easier task to "go green" than you thought. 

Don't believe us? Take it from the list of delicious recipes below.

1. Macro Combo Healthy Cobb Salad by Rorie Weisberg

This salad has all the makings of a satisfying meal-in-one! Complex carbs, healthy fats, protein, and fiber — plus a gorgeous presentation.

3. Creamy Avocado Salad + Dip by Chanie Nayman

4. Avo-Cuke Salad by Menachem Goodman

This recipe is a perfect lunch option. The refreshing cucumbers with the ripe avocado and the crunch from the onion really make every bite amazing.

5. Smashed Cucumber Dill Salad by Micah Siva

My zaida (grandfather), named Arnold, was a natural host. Every time we went to his house, he would come in with a tray of candies, Mrs. Fields cookies, Coke, and ice cream floats (with unique flavor combinations, like cream soda or orange soda in place of cola, no less). He made freshly squeezed orange juice for my bubbe (grandmother) every morning, and if you were lucky, he would make you a batch of “Zaida’s Pickles,” made with pickling cucumbers, salt, sugar, and vinegar. It was a perfectly tangy treat that we looked forward to and craved every summer. Since then, I often make my own pickle variations and think of how he took such pride in caring for others. The flavors of Arnie’s pickles inspired me to create this cucumber salad, a modern twist of a side dish that is a hybrid between a salad and a plate of his pickles. It’s a great dinner party option.

6. Green Goddess Crunchy Slaw by Menachem Goodman

Step aside, coleslaw — there is a new fave in town. I added fennel because I love it, but feel free to swap with any other crunchy vegetables. Green Goddess has been trending lately and for a good reason. This delicious and unique dressing will become a household staple.

7. Green Juice by Yocheved Shvarzblat

It’s healthy, it’s yummy, and it’s a green juice—yes, you read that correctly. Who knows, you may actually skip going to the juice bar the next time you’re craving a boost. Making one at home is just that doable!

8. The Best Green Herb Dip by Sina Mizrahi

For this vibrant herby dip, I doctored up Gefen’s new frozen Parsley Garlic & Lemon cubes with a punch of jalapeno, arugula, and cilantro to make an incredible dip that you can use to cook with or dip into. It’s bright, fresh and packed with all the herby goodness.

9. Sesame Mustard String Beans by Beth Warren

Prepping healthy dishes to feed an entire family doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With this recipe you can easily grab frozen vegetables and double it for convenience while enhancing the health benefits.

10. Open-Faced Flounder Wraps with Cucumber-Avocado Salsa by Victoria Dwek

I can honestly say that on many days I don’t really prepare an actual recipe for dinner. I do try to plan somewhat, but often, as long as I have some kind of protein available, I can figure it out. One night, I needed to disguise the flounder I had purchased. It was the only nice fresh fish I could find in Deal that day (it was after Yom Tov and we were tired of meat), and it’s not my husband’s favorite. This dish was the result.

11. Broccoli Chickpea Salad by Miriam (Pascal) Cohen

This filling salad is practically a meal in a bowl! It’s a perfect take-along lunch for a summer picnic (or let’s be real, for lunch at your desk…) thanks to the protein from the chickpeas. Want even more veggies? Simply double the roasted broccoli mixture!

12. Fresh and Healthy Asian Mango Lettuce Salad by Bat-El Gershowitz

If you are bored of your same old regular salad, this one will get you back on track! A really quick and easy assembly, with a really quick and easy dressing, and you’ve got yourself a wonderful treat! I’m telling you, I couldn’t get enough of it. It is so, so good.

Hope you can get mangoes wherever you are in the world, and don’t skip the avocado!

Filled with color and crunch, this quick broccoli salad is a fuss-free addition to any meal.

15. Spinach Shakshuka by Leah Koenig

Since I was little, I have thrilled at reading food-related passages in novels. In one passage I read, a dish was described so vividly, I felt compelled to re-create it in my own kitchen. It said: “Ruchama . . . fried onions and sprinkled garlic cloves . . . seasoned it with spicy green pepper and coriander seeds and squeezed a lemon and placed a pile of beet leaves . . . in the middle, and within seconds the green pile sunk into the pot and became an aromatic green sauce, into which Ruchama chopped cubes of sheep’s milk cheese and broke three eggs and dripped olive oil.” As I read and my mouth watered, I realized that Ruchama is essentially making a tomato-free version of the North African poached egg dish, shakshuka. Riffing off the “recipe,” I experimented with a spinach shakshuka and, like Ruchama, ended up mopping it up with pita “with great pleasure.”

16. Mediterranean Salad Wraps with Roasted Chickpeas by Chavi Feldman

17. Sheet-Pan Pesto Frittata by Chavi Feldman

When Chanie asked me to create a recipe using the concept of “clean eating,” developing a dish with eggs and fresh vegetables came to mind immediately. However, I also wanted to come up with a quick and easy way to serve this meal to a crowd, hence the sheet pan! All I can say is WOW! Not only did the combination of flavors exceed my expectations, but the vibrant colors lent themselves to the beautiful presentation of this healthy meal-in-one!

18. Green Health Soup from the Dining In Cookbook

High in calcium and vitamins. Helps to cleanse the system and boost immunity.

19. Cheesy Oven-Roasted Veggies by Chavi Feldman

This delicious combo of roasted veggies takes on a whole new meaning when it’s smothered with a heavenly cheddar sauce. When Faigy used half the recipe to create a rich and creamy soup, it only served to enhance the blend of flavors. For all cheese lovers out there, this one’s for you!

20. Cucumber Salad by Rorie Weisberg

I was determined to find a way to make these ever-popular salads using minimal amounts of raw honey with no additional added sweeteners. After a number of attempts, I am pleased to share this transformed traditional favorite. This recipe uses my grandmother’s technique while using just a little raw honey instead of half a cup of table sugar. The result is a recipe that’s a high-quality go-to for every special occasion.

21. Forkless Shawarma Lettuce Wraps by Rorie Weisberg

Looking for a delicious, light picnic lunch or dinner that you don’t have to wash on or eat with a fork yet is still super filling because it’s a macro meal?   Look no farther! Forkless Shawarma Lettuce Wraps are a great easy grab-‘n-go macro meal for busy summer days when I’m carpooling everywhere and want to have a salad but don’t have time to sit with a bowl and a fork.   This has all the macros: protein from chicken, healthy fats from tahini, fiber from veggies, and fiber, starch, and a little extra protein from the chickpeas.   I love throwing chickpeas in as my starch component as much as I can. Aside from being a healthy carb, they have extra fiber and protein, making them a carb that is very good for blood sugar. Watch me make these delicious, nutritious lunch wraps here!

It’s hard to find time for a well-balanced breakfast. During a hectic morning, you don’t have a spare minute to fix a real meal, never mind time to check that all those macros are included!

24. Chimichurri Mushroom Salad by Michal Frischman

My mother is famous for her barbecues, and one thing she’s always done is whole portobello mushrooms. They’re meaty, filling, and so good! In this salad, they don’t need anything more than basic seasoning, since chimichurri is so flavorful and fresh.

25. Green Grilled Chicken by Michal Frischman

I’ve made variations of this marinade as a dressing and a dip, but it always feels like summer when we’re grilling green chicken. You can sub fresh herbs for this — two ounces each of parsley and cilantro — and blend it all up with an immersion blender.

26. Endive Salad Platter with Tahini Drizzle by Chanie Nayman

I know this salad is the polar opposite of typical, but I just had to share it with you, and I’ll tell you why. I served it to company multiple times, presented this exact way, and each time, the dish was cleaned out in a matter of minutes. On top of that, it’s crazy easy to put together, and you’ll always get a beautiful, chic result without even trying.
