Crunchy Chicken & Mango Salad: This Asian-inspired dinner salad has terrific crunch, thanks to sugar snap peas and napa cabbage, and a sweet and vibrant flavor, coming from fresh mango and a orange-soy dressing. This hearty salad delivers 2 cups of veggies per serving, plus plenty of protein from chicken to keep you satisfied all evening long. Give the dressing a kick of heat by adding a bit of sambal oelek, an Indonesian hot sauce that you can find in most large supermarkets and Asian grocery stores.

Rainbow Buddha Bowl with Cashew Tahini Dressing: This vibrant bowl is packed with 3 cups of veggies, plus quinoa and lentils, to keep you full for hours. Topped with a creamy cashew-tahini dressing, this one-bowl dinner will definitely hit the spot. Look for precooked lentils in the refrigerated section of the produce department to keep this a speedy dinner.

Two-Cheese Fusilli with Marinated Tomatoes: In this healthy vegetarian pasta recipe, using the tastiest possible ingredients is key. That's why we opt for the richer flavor of whole-milk ricotta over part-skim and suggest using fresh, in-season tomatoes. Rather than add the tomatoes to the pasta dish to cook, we instead marinate them in a simple vinegar and garlic mixture and add them on top of the cheesy pasta to finish the dish. The pasta alone will give 1 cup of tomatoes per serving but pair this dinner with a big green salad for even more veggie power.

Za'atar-Roasted Chicken Tenders & Vegetables with Couscous: Chicken tenders and pretrimmed green beans make this healthy dinner super-fast. And with 32 grams of protein, and 2 cups of vegetables, this filling dinner will keep you satisfied throughout the evening.

Hasselback Eggplant Parmesan: The coolest way to make classic eggplant parm-and easier too! Use the hasselback technique to make partial cuts into the whole eggplant every ¼ inch or so to fill up with melty cheese, flavorful sauce and crunchy breadcrumbs. This delicious, veggie-packed dish pairs perfectly with the Herb & Arugula Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto & Shrimp: This tasty pasta recipe is loaded with spiralized zucchini in place of spaghetti and tossed in a zesty pesto pasta sauce. Topped with Cajun-seasoned shrimp to complete the meal, this quick and easy dinner is a weeknight favorite that delivers at least a cup of tasty veggie noodles.

Grilled Flank Steak Salad with Ginger Wasabi Dressing: This quick, healthy dinner salad recipe is ready in 40 minutes thanks to preshredded carrots and coleslaw mix. Between the carrots, coleslaw and spinach, each serving boasts over 2 cups of veggies. If you have leftover quinoa, skip Step 1 and use 2 cups in the salad, and if you want a bigger flavor kick in the dressing, up the wasabi powder to 1 tablespoon.
