Good news for everyone striving to make dishes healthy: More Americans are gravitating toward a better-for-you eating lifestyle that focuses on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and nuts as the foundation of dishes. For healthcare foodservice, the time to capitalize on that movement is now.<\/p>\n

Call it \u201cplant-forward,\u201d \u201cvegetable-forward\u201d or \u201cveg-centric,\u201d the aim is not to eliminate meat but integrate smaller, complementary portions. In many global dishes, meat is a flavoring agent\u2014akin to a condiment or garnish. Utilizing this practice in recipe makeovers gives a nod to North Americans who crave meat. It increases perceived value, builds plate coverage using less-costly seasonal produce and other foods from the soil that help keep plate costs within budget.<\/p>\n

When promoting \u201cveg-centric\u201d in healthy makeovers, here are simple satiety-building hacks:<\/p>\n

Pump up the umami.<\/strong> Umami creates a sensation of full flavor, reducing the need for salt. Think small amounts of meats, fatty fish, cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes and soy sauce. <\/p>\n

Go local.<\/strong> Sourcing ingredients grown or harvested within a reasonable distance capitalizes on seasonality and freshness, when foods are at their flavor peak.<\/p>\n

Remember mouthfeel.<\/strong> Consider texture, including visual. People enjoy foods with more than one texture because the contrast makes them more interesting.<\/p>\n

Herbs and bulbs.<\/strong> The season is awash in fresh herbs like basil, mint and cilantro. The right amounts, plus aromatics like onions, garlic and fennel, satisfy with less salt.<\/p>\n

Say it with citrus.<\/strong> A little acidity from citrus fruits adds a bright tang or tartness (often with sweetness), elevating the flavor experience. If fresh isn\u2019t cost-effective, consider juice with no added sugar.<\/p>\n

Olive oil and vinegars.<\/strong> Unlike animal fats, olive oil is monounsaturated. Plus, extra virgin olive oil won\u2019t mask other flavors. It has the same calories per gram as other fats, so use strategically. A touch of balsamic, sherry, apple and other vinegars adds tangy acidity.<\/p>\n

Chiles.<\/strong> The heat\u2014from mild to wild\u2014and spice of chile peppers adds boldness, which means less reliance on salt and fat. Hot sauces have the same power. (Check labels for sodium.)<\/p>\n

Featured Recipes:<\/h3>\n

\"Walleye<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walleye Papillote with Fonio Tabbouleh Salad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Lake fish meets French prep when steamed in parchment. Whole-grain fonio delivers plant protein in a Middle Eastern side in which tangy feta and citrus replace some fat and sodium. <\/p>\n

\"Grilled<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grilled Cauliflower Steak<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Thick-sliced cauliflower embraces tender-toothsome qualities of prime steak with less fat and fewer calories. Bold flavor in romesco and citrus notes in salsa mean less reliance on salt.<\/p>\n

\"Cauliflower<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cauliflower Pizza with Italian Chicken Sausage<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This gluten-free crust is lower in carbs and calories than wheat flour. Italian chicken sausage delivers full flavor, while robust sauce boosts satisfaction. Crowning with peppery arugula says \u201cgarden fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Shaved<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shaved Beet and Fennel Salad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Top this colorful m\u00e9lange of vegetables with EVOO and add a splash of excitement with balsamic vinegar, pickled onions and citrus with a note of creamy feta.<\/p>\n

\"Tomato<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomato and Strawberry Gazpacho<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A garden in a bowl, this refreshing chilled soup made without dairy benefits from rich aromatics. Strawberries deliver a tantalizing sweet twist on the Spanish classic. <\/p>\n

\"Fire-Roasted<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire-Roasted Eggplant Schnitzel with Red Cabbage and Apple Salad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A plant-based version of the pan-fried meat cutlet has built-in menu interest. Roasting deepens flavor without fat from oil. A warm, Dijon-spiked bacon dressing provides a flavor treat.
