Heart-Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes: Healthy Snacks and Side Dishes

Enjoy a colorful and nutritious plate of spring greens with our delicious side dishes featuring produce like kale fennel and beets. Plus all of these recipes are low in saturated fat and sodium to support a strong healthy heart. From roasted veggies like our Roasted Cabbage Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette to crunchy salads like our Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad these side dishes make caring for your heart tasty and satisfying.

This roasted cabbage is dressed with a bright and flavorful lemon-garlic vinaigrette. It goes well with everything from chicken and steak to tofu and grain bowls. If you already have the grill going you can grill the cabbage wedges which adds a delicious smoky flavor. You can use red or green cabbage even savoy or napa cabbage will do!

Cooked beets are lightly pressed and pan-fried to give a charred crispy crust similar to that of mashed potatoes. A dip of goat cheese and herbs makes this healthy appetizer or easy side dish even more delicious.
