This is a low carb and low fat recipe that features spicy Korean-inspired chicken dish and brings bold heat from gochujang—a fermented red chili paste that’s rich, savory, and slightly sweet—and balances it with a cool, crunchy cucumber salad. Using lean chicken breast and a lightly sweetened marinade keeps the meal flavorful without overloading on sugar or fat. It's a great option for people with diabetes looking to enjoy vibrant flavors while staying mindful of blood glucose (blood sugar).
Earthy spinach, crunchy cucumber, fragrant tomatoes, and sharp feta complement the creamy richness of avocado in this attractive salad. A slightly spicy lemon-lime dressing takes it from simple to sensational.
This colorful salad is full of surprising flavors—sweetness from the orange, richness from the fennel, and a little bit of spice from the radish and arugula.
Mustard and seasonings make this healthier version of old-fashioned potato salad super flavorful. A classic potluck dish, it’s sure to be a hit when you bring it to a picnic, tailgate or any other gathering.
This Spanish salad is bright and beautiful. The combination of oranges and tomatoes offers a nice, tangy complement to the rich avocado and asparagus flavors.
