About Our Heart Healthy Side Dish Recipes

Entrées may get all the fanfare at dinner, but very often the healthy dinner sides are what steal the show. That’s why we’ve put so much effort into developing heart healthy side dishes that deliver on the flavors you love with a healthier twist. Our team of professional chefs and registered dietitians have created healthy sides for dinner that pair well with all types of entrees, whether you’re eating beef, pork, chicken, turkey or seafood. Each of our side dish ideas is designed to be lower in fat, sodium and calories than traditional sides, but they don’t skimp on taste. 

Some of our most popular healthy side dish recipes include Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Stir-Fried Rice and Mac and Cheese. We also have tasty plant-based sides that are crowd-pleasers, such as Roasted Vegetables, Farro Bean Salad and Homemade Cornbread. And don’t forget our salads, soups and appetizers, which work well as side dishes, too. Our healthy side dish recipes can be mixed and matched with the entrees of your choice – or you may even decide to skip the entrée and make our healthy sides the main event because they’re so scrumptious!
