Nutritious Delicious

Whip up nutrient-dense versions of your favorite dishes using 50 healthy ingredients you probably already have—like sweet potatoes, oats, salmon, and other common superfoods

Who isn’t drawn to making healthier choices in the foods we eat, whether opting for dark leafy greens or whole grains? But cooking with these foods can leave us feeling like we must choose between eating healthy and eating what we want—and let’s be honest: sneaking some florets of broccoli into macaroni and cheese is not going to transform anyone’s diet.
 
In Nutritious Delicious, America’s Test Kitchen digs deeper into using nature’s powerhouse ingredients to update the nutritional framework of our favorite dishes, rigorously testing with an eye to getting great flavor while minimizing reliance on butter, refined flour, and sugar. The resulting collection of recipes—such as Blueberry-Oatmeal Pancakes, MLT (Mushroom, Lettuce, and Tomato) Sandwiches, Salmon Tacos with Super Slaw, and Butternut Squash Polenta—represents a new way to think about ingredients that everyone can relate to.
