1. Marry Me Salmon Risoni



This vibrant salmon risoni dish is called ‘Marry Me’ for a reason! It’s full of flavor, brimming with nutrients and on the table in under 20 minutes. Perfectly crisp salmon offers heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, alongside garlic, and immune-loving baby spinach. It’s finished with cream cheese (or coconut cream) for an extra silky texture, with a squeeze of zesty lemon and fresh basil to serve.

You can’t beat a budget-friendly, easy to prepare meal brimming with micronutrients, vibrant colors, and diverse textures. We’ve opted for chickpea pasta as a nourishing choice with an extra boost of protein, but the pasta salad base serves as a flexible option for any protein of choice. Have fun experimenting with different flavor combinations and generously mix through the zesty dressing.
