5. Barely Roasted Purple Vegetables
A bulb of purple garlic makes this quick-cooking (hence “barely” roasted), heart-healthy side dish extra mouthwatering and visually appealing. Carrots, green beans, green onions, and just enough goat cheese play supporting roles.
6. Bean, Corn, and Tomato Salad
Here’s one heart-healthy side dish recipe that gets better with time! Well, with four to 24 hours at least. That’s how early you can toss it together to allow the herb-infused vinaigrette to infuse the fresh corn, tomatoes, chickpeas, and edamame. The bean and veggie combination delivers a respectable amount of protein and fiber (three grams each)—for very few calories (86).
