Here’s a fresh and lovely entrée salad for one—perfect for a work-form-home lunch or a busy weeknight dinner. The zingy, citrusy dressing is made by blending together cider vinegar and sesame oil with grated ginger and whole oranges. You'll drizzle that onto a bed of salad greens (whatever you have) and a lean protein of choice (leftover chicken or shrimp or canned tuna work well, or use tofu or beans for a plant-based meal). You can additional vegetables and toppings if you want—try grape tomatoes, avocado, or shredded carrot. For crunch, top with peanuts or another roasted nut.

This classic Thanksgiving side dish gets a diabetes-friendly makeover, without losing any of its rich, savory flavor.
