Enjoying one of these delicious dinners is a great option for a healthy gut. They’re packed with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kimchi, in addition to prebiotic-rich foods like beans, legumes, whole grains, and vegetables. These ingredients offer healthy bacteria and fiber to support your microbiome and digestive health. Plus, each serving of these dishes has at least 15 grams of protein, a nutrient that can help promote satiety, muscle recovery, and bone health. It takes just three steps or less to have flavorful and satisfying recipes like our Best Veggie Enchiladas and Broccolini, Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet on the table.

Salmon Rice Bowl

Salmon Rice Bowl — ALI REDMOND

Inspired by the viral TikTok trend, this salmon rice bowl makes for a tasty lunch or dinner. With healthy ingredients like instant brown rice, salmon, and veggies, you'll have a flavorful meal in just 25 minutes.

Broccolini, Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet

Broccolini, Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet

We love this quick skillet meal for busy evenings. The sausage and orzo simmer together in chicken broth, resulting in a creamy, risotto-like dish in under 30 minutes.

The Best Veggie Enchiladas

These veggie enchiladas are packed with sweet corn, onion, peppers, zucchini, and beans and are coated with store-bought enchilada sauce to save time on prep. Enchilada sauce ranges from mild to hot. We like the earthy flavor of red enchilada sauce, but green enchilada sauce works well too. For a slightly different spin, substitute yellow squash for the zucchini and a poblano for the bell pepper.

One-Pot White Bean, Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & Feta

a recipe photo of the One-Pot White Bean, Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo with Lemon & Feta — PHOTOGRAPHER: JEN CAUSEY, FOOD STYLIST: JULIAN HENSARLING, PROP STYLIST: JULIA BAYLESS

This one-pot pasta dish with white beans, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes is lively and vibrant and leaves you with an easy cleanup. Toasting the orzo before adding the broth adds another layer of flavor. Another dark leafy green like chopped kale or Swiss chard can stand in for the spinach but may take longer to wilt in the pan. If you use a sturdier green, add it to the pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Black Bean-Quinoa Bowl

This black bean and quinoa bowl has many of the usual hallmarks of a taco salad, minus the fried bowl. We've loaded it up with pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, and avocado plus an easy hummus dressing to drizzle on top.

06of 20

Salmon-Stuffed Avocados

Salmon-Stuffed Avocados

Canned salmon is a valuable pantry staple and a practical way to include heart-healthy, omega-3-rich fish in your diet. Here, we combine it with avocados in an easy no-cook meal.

07of 20

Vegan Shepherd's Pie

Vegan Shepherd's Pie

Lentils take the place of ground meat and vegan butter adds creaminess to the mashed potatoes in this easy vegan shepherd's pie recipe. If you want to cut down on the cooking time, use precooked lentils and omit most of the vegetable broth, adding some in only if the mixture seems dry.

08of 20

Stuffed Sweet Potato with Hummus Dressing

Stuffed Sweet Potato with Hummus Dressing

Hearty yet simple to prepare, this stuffed sweet potato with black beans, kale, and hummus dressing is a fantastic 5-ingredient lunch for one!

09of 20

Baked Feta & Tomato Chickpeas

a recipe photo of the Baked Feta & Tomato Chickpeas — PHOTOGRAPHER: FRED HARDY, FOOD STYLIST: JENNIFER WENDORF, PROP STYLIST: LYDIA PURSELL

This simple baked feta casserole recipe turns cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and chickpeas into a hearty, protein-rich vegetarian meal. After baking, it creates a savory-sweet tomato–olive oil sauce ideal for slathering on pita bread. Feta cheese in brine melts more readily compared to dry, crumbled feta, so it’s worth seeking out. For a different take, replace the chickpeas with creamy white beans.

10of 20

Creamy Mushroom & Tomato Farro Risotto

Creamy Mushroom & Tomato Farro Risotto

Instead of arborio rice, this creamy grain dish features the bold nuttiness of farro, which pairs nicely with the black pepper and Parmesan. The cherry tomatoes add a nice touch of juicy sweetness, and the cremini mushrooms give a "meaty" feel to this vegetarian main dish.

11of 20

Chicken Parmesan & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Chicken Parmesan & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Chicken Parm gets a fun low-carb and gluten-free twist with these cheesy stuffed peppers with chicken and quinoa. Serve with a salad for a healthy dinner that's easy to prep too.

Harira (Moroccan Tomato, Lentil & Beef Soup)

a recipe photo of the Harira served in a bowl — PHOTOGRAPHER: RACHEL MAREK, FOOD STYLIST: LAUREN MCANELLY, PROP STYLIST: GABRIEL GRECO

Harira is a tomato-based soup featured at the center of many Moroccan tables during the month of Ramadan. It’s often enjoyed as part of iftar, or the meal served to break the fast each evening, along with dates, milk, hard-boiled eggs, semolina pancakes, and chakra (sesame cookies). This version features chickpeas, lentils, beef, and noodles in a fragrant tomato broth, but there are endless variations on the soup.

13of 20

Brown Rice Shrimp Bowl with Tomatoes & Avocado

Brown Rice Shrimp Bowl with Tomatoes & Avocado

This quick and easy bowl pairs brown rice with cooked shrimp, tossed in a ginger-soy-sesame sauce, to create a flavorful dish in no time. Topping with tomatoes and avocado adds color and nutrients. Use leftover brown rice or pick up a package of pre-cooked brown rice from the grocery store to keep this meal no-cook.

14of 20

One-Skillet Salmon with Fennel & Sun-Dried Tomato Couscous

One-Skillet Salmon with Fennel & Sun-Dried Tomato Couscous

Sun-dried tomato pesto and lemon do double duty to season both the salmon and the couscous in this healthy one-pan dinner recipe. Serve the salmon with extra lemon wedges and a dollop of plain yogurt, if desired.

15of 20

Pesto Tuna Noodle Casserole

A creamy pesto sauce with sweet shallots and wilted spinach gives a light and bright spin to classic tuna noodle casserole. Albacore tuna is an ideal choice, as it holds its texture well once mixed in, although any water-packed tuna will do the job. For the best results, we recommend using refrigerated pesto for its fresh flavor which enhances the overall dish.

16of 20

Salmon Caesar Salad

Salmon Caesar Salad

This easy Caesar salad subs creamy Greek yogurt and buttermilk for the traditional egg yolks and olive oil and mixes in mildly bitter radicchio in addition to classic romaine. Using just a small amount of flavorful Parmigiano-Reggiano shaves calories and sodium too.

17of 20

Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken & Vegetables

Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken & Vegetables

This one-pan dinner gets a hit of flavorful heat from harissa, the popular North African chile-and-garlic paste. We use harissa paste from a tube for this recipe. It's got a concentrated chile flavor that makes an excellent spice rub for chicken and adds a subtle punch of heat to a refreshing herbed yogurt sauce.

18of 20

Whole-wheat orzo & Tuna Salad with Broccoli

Whole-Wheat Orzo & Tuna Salad with Broccoli

This pasta- and tuna-salad mashup gets a boost of color and texture from broccoli. Plenty of Kalamata olives add a briny bite. Be sure to monitor the pasta cooking carefully, as orzo can go from al dente to mush in a minute. If in doubt, drain it a little early--it'll soften further in the lemon dressing.

19of 20

Yogurt-Curry Marinated Chicken Thighs

Yogurt-Curry Marinated Chicken Thighs

This healthy chicken thigh recipe is tender and packed with flavor, thanks to a yogurt-based marinade. The healthy yogurt marinade recipe also works well with pork, shrimp, firm fish, or tofu. (Divide the recipe in half if marinating 1 pound of chicken thighs.)

20of 20

Creamy Garlic Pasta with Shrimp & Vegetables

Creamy Garlic Pasta with Shrimp & Vegetables

Toss a garlicky, Middle Eastern-inspired yogurt sauce with pasta, shrimp, asparagus, peas, and red bell pepper for a fresh, satisfying summer meal. Serve with: Slices of cucumber and tomato tossed with lemon juice and olive oil.
