EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Trending Videos Close this video player Fight inflammation and stay healthy with EatingWell's delicious recipes featuring foods like salmon, leafy greens, nuts, and tea; foods known for their anti-inflammatory properties. 01 of 28 Walnut-Rosemary Crusted Salmon View Recipe Salmon and walnuts are both great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Pair this easy salmon recipe with a simple salad and a side of roasted potatoes or quinoa. 02 of 28 Tuna & Olive Spinach Salad View Recipe This tuna salad recipe gets an upgrade with olives, feta and a tahini dressing. Served over baby spinach, this is the perfect easy and light lunch or dinner salad. 03 of 28 Matcha Green Tea Latte View Recipe A touch of honey balances the bitterness of matcha in this healthy latte recipe. For a nondairy latte, swap unsweetened almond, soy or coconut milk for the low-fat milk. 04 of 28 Roasted Salmon with Spicy Cranberry Relish View Recipe This ruby-red cranberry relish recipe gets refreshing crunch from apple and celery. It's also delightful alongside a roast chicken or pork loin. 05 of 28 Instant Pot Lentil Soup View Recipe This Instant Pot lentil soup is quick enough to prepare when you get home from work for an easy weeknight dinner. This vegetarian soup recipe is full of aromatic vegetables, brown lentils and fresh spinach. A splash of balsamic vinegar brightens the flavor, and a garnish of radish and parsley gives this comforting soup a fresh finish. 06 of 28 Winter Kale & Quinoa Salad with Avocado View Recipe Precooked quinoa helps keep this healthy salad recipe quick and simple. Loaded with black beans, kale, and avocado, it's as filling as it is nutritious. You can also make the sweet potatoes and dressing ahead. 07 of 28 Roasted Cauliflower & Potato Curry Soup View Recipe Karla Conrad In this healthy cauliflower soup recipe, roasting the cauliflower first adds depth and prevents the florets from turning to mush. A little tomato sauce and coconut milk give the broth a rich, silky texture. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired. 08 of 28 Berry-Almond Smoothie Bowl View Recipe A little frozen banana gives creamy texture to this satisfying smoothie bowl. 09 of 28 Roasted Salmon with Smoky Chickpeas & Greens View Recipe In this healthy salmon dinner, you'll get a dose of greens and green dressing! Chowing down on six or more servings of dark leafy greens a week can help keep your brain in top shape. This dish features the Test Kitchen's current go-to method for doctoring a can of chickpeas: Spice them up and roast until crispy. 10 of 28 Herbal Chamomile Health Tonic View Recipe Immunity-boosting ingredients—ginger, lemon and rosemary—are steeped with soothing chamomile tea and honey for a homemade health tonic. While the drink may help when you're sick, it's not a quick fix. Drinking wellness tonics, like this one, regularly over time may help boost your immune system. Serve hot, room temperature or cold. 11 of 28 Miso-Maple Salmon View Recipe White miso paste packs an umami punch to this healthy salmon recipe. But being the mildest and sweetest variety of the gluten-free fermented paste, it won't overpower this dish. Use any leftover salmon (within three days) to make our Lemon-Garlic Pasta with Salmon, Easy Scallion-Salmon Dip or Spicy Salmon Cakes. 12 of 28 Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad View Recipe This festive holiday salad recipe features plenty of oven-roasted broccoli and cauliflower combined with massaged kale. Why massage the kale? It helps tenderize the leaves and infuses the sweet-tangy flavor of the dressing directly into the heart of this healthy winter salad. 13 of 28 Garlic Roasted Salmon & Brussels Sprouts View Recipe Roasting salmon on top of Brussels sprouts and garlic, flavored with wine and fresh oregano, is simple enough for a weeknight meal yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with whole-wheat couscous. 14 of 28 Carrot Cake Energy Bites View Recipe These no-cook energy bites keep well in the fridge or freezer and are easy to grab on the go for a healthy snack. 15 of 28 Easy Saag Paneer View Recipe The paneer cheese in this fast and easy dinner doesn't melt when it cooks. It browns instead, giving a toothsome texture to this Indian classic packed with spinach and spices. Serve over brown basmati rice to round out this healthy meal. 16 of 28 Spinach Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, White Beans & Basil View Recipe Roasted sweet potatoes are paired with spinach, cabbage and white beans and tossed together with a bright basil dressing in this healthy main dish salad. 17 of 28 Green Salad with Edamame & Beets View Recipe Katie Webster This big salad is a feast for the eyes and an everyday way to incorporate nutrient-rich beets and plant-based protein from edamame (green soybeans). If you're not a fan of cilantro, mix in freshly chopped basil or dill instead. 18 of 28 Roasted Beet Hummus View Recipe This vibrant hummus recipe couldn't be easier—just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away! Roasted beets make this healthy dip extra flavorful. Serve with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités. 19 of 28 Peach, Raspberry & Watercress Salad with Five-Spice Bacon View Recipe Sweet peaches and raspberries stud the peppery watercress to make this savory fruit salad recipe gorgeous. But what makes it so delicious is the crisp bacon coated in the delightfully sticky-sweet maple-port wine glaze. 20 of 28 Turmeric Latte View Recipe Studies on turmeric's health benefits, particularly for reducing inflammation, are preliminary but promising. Try this vegan turmeric "latte" made from steamed almond milk and sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. 21 of 28 Purple Fruit Salad View Recipe Serve this refreshing fruit salad featuring juicy plums, grapes and berries on its own or with other color-blocked fruit salads (like red, green and orange) for a fun, crowd-pleasing rainbow side dish. 22 of 28 Spinach Salad with Ginger-Soy Dressing View Recipe This spinach salad tossed with spunky ginger dressing was inspired by the iceberg salads served at Japanese steakhouses across the U.S. Add shrimp for lunch or a light supper. 23 of 28 Turmeric-Ginger Tahini Dip View Recipe Flavored with turmeric, ginger and garlic, this tahini dip recipe is perfect for dipping vegetables or topping your next falafel. 24 of 28 Spinach-Avocado Smoothie View Recipe This healthy green smoothie gets super creamy from the frozen banana and avocado.

Keep it vegan or add a drizzle of plain yogurt for extra richness. 27 of 28 Cranberry-Almond Granola Bars View Recipe There are plenty of granola bar options at the grocery store, but they're also easy (and often healthier) to make at home. Feel free to vary the add-ins to your taste, swapping 2 cups of any combination of small (or chopped) dried fruit, nuts, seeds and/or chocolate chips for the dried cranberries and nuts in this version. We tested several sticky sweeteners, including maple syrup and honey, but found brown rice syrup held the bars together the best. 28 of 28 Blueberry Almond Chia Pudding View Recipe Switch up your morning oatmeal routine with this so-easy chia pudding recipe.
