But you know how it goes: Despite our best intentions, it’s easy to fall into a rut of cooking the same (read: boring) meals over and over…and over. The good news is, however, there are easy ways to enjoy healthy, flavorful, fast dishes at home—that will leave you feeling totally satisfied. Read on for a few expert ideas. Yes, yes, we know salad can be healthy, but it can also get super boring super fast. Take things up a notch by turning to ingredients that are in season—even a sprinkling makes a big difference. In-season ingredients are fresh and full of flavor, helping to make your whole bowl much tastier as a result. One example: Toss a handful of pomegranate seeds—pomegranates are in season right now—on a salad, with other great toppings like blue cheese, Rissetto says. While you’re at it, consider a new homemade dressing to finish things off. “I’m on this warm shallot dressing kick, so I cut up shallots really thin and I add olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and red wine vinegar,” Rissetto says. “These are quick ways to make things very flavorful without a heavy lift,” she says.
