Designed to help lower blood pressure and promote heart health, these DASH diet dinners can help you meet your nutritional goals deliciously. And with complex carbs like whole grains alongside low amounts of saturated fats and being sodium-conscious, these dishes also support a diabetes-friendly eating pattern. Recipes like our Spicy Orange Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry and Superfood Chopped Salad with Salmon & Creamy Garlic Dressing only take 30 minutes or less to make, so you'll have a healthy and flavorful dinner on the table in no time.

Seared Scallops with White Bean Ragu & Charred Lemon

6885387.jpg
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This recipe for seared scallops with white beans and spinach turns out a healthy dinner that looks impressive (and tastes great) in just 25 minutes. Giving lemons a quick sizzle in the skillet amps up the flavor of this piccata-inspired dish. The heat helps release even more citrus juice and sweetens it too. When shopping for scallops, look for ones labeled "dry." Some scallops are soaked in a solution that prevents them from searing properly and can give them a soapy flavor.

A classic black bean salad is a must for picnics and potlucks. This vegan version gets its creaminess from blended avocado. Any mix of salad greens will work well, but try arugula if you want to give this hearty salad a peppery kick.

This easy dinner takes just 20 minutes to prepare, meaning that seared steak can be a weeknight meal.
