During the holidays, many of us may have indulged a little too much in the desserts, the carb-heavy dishes, and the wine. Although there is usually a salad option at holiday dinners, it’s not what anyone is excited about. Don’t worry though! It’s totally normal to forget about your greens during festivities. But now, we can get back to eating healthier.

Here are 15 yummy recipes from our Food Monster App that have plenty of green veggies as a way to help you make up for not eating as well during the holidays.

Zucchini is a fantastic food. Since its flavor, texture and color are not particularly intense, you can turn it into so many different things. Here they’re used as a base for savory cakes, which pair wonderfully with a tangy salad and sauce. Spinach is a great source of iron, vitamin K and carotenoids (vitamin A), which are necessary for blood health; and all the spices in this recipe from Rawsome Superfoods have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

4. Broccoli Frittata with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Onions and Garlic

Viktoria Radichkova‘s Grilled Zucchini and Corn Quinoa Salad is loaded with grilled zucchini, corn and onions, bursts with sweet and citrus flavors, and fresh mint aroma. The roasting intensifies the sweetness of the onions and corn, which complement each other, and the slight charred flavors they get from the grill. The freshness of the lemon and mint cuts through, and brightens the overall flavors. And for substance there is cooked quinoa and salty, crunchy, toasted pepitas. It’s not only quite delicious, but filling and satisfying too. It keeps well in the fridge, and you can just freshen it up with more lemon juice and mint the next day.
