Chicken: For a bit of protein, this pineapple fried rice recipe has bites of chicken. Chicken thighs are easiest to cook, as they won’t dry up if you overcook them slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut each thigh into bite-sized pieces, about ½ inch each. Pineapple: For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple! It may be daunting to break down a whole pineapple but it’s actually very simple. Use a large, sharp knife to cut off the top leaves and the bottom, then slice it vertically to remove the tough outer skin....

If you love the little pops of juicy goodness from pomegranate seeds, make this baby kale salad with pomegranate next.

Broccoli is so versatile. It may not be as versatile as cauliflower, but it is still incredible. It pairs well with so many different flavors to make incredible dishes.

When I started doing some research into the health benefits of broccoli, I found out it is extremely healthy....

Also, try this kale salad recipe – it has bacon in it! Baby kale is simply tender, young, kale leaves. You can eat the whole leaf without having to remove the stem as it is still very delicate.

For another versatile Asian-inspired dressing, try oxur sweet and savory sesame ginger dressing that tastes great over crunchy greens. Carrots: humble carrots add subtle sweetness and give this dressing its bright orange color. Plus, most of us have a bag of carrots hanging out in our fridge, right? Soy sauce: we use regular gluten-free soy sauce but you can use low-sodium soy sauce, gluten-free soy sauce, or tamari. Avocado oil: avocado oil or any other neutral oil work in this dressing....

For more lightened-up recipes with cauliflower, try our cauliflower mashed potatoes and garlic brown butter mashed cauliflower. In this vegan version, we skip the usual polenta ingredients like butter, cream, and cheese.
