Teriyaki Edamame Saute
Whip up this high-fiber, plant-based stir-fry for a quick and convenient dinner.
Look for bottled teriyaki sauce labeled less-sodium or reduced-sodium to cut back on the salt without sacrificing flavor.

Use store-bought corn tortillas, brush them with olive oil and bake to crunchy perfection!
Here we topped the tostada with refried beans and fresh pico de gallo for an easy 3-ingredient meal.
A spread of hummus adds creaminess and keeps everything from falling out.
Serve with warm whole-grain pita bread.
We finish it with prepared basil pesto for a vibrant and flavorful meal.
