Lentil Salad With Garlic Vinaigrette

Mustard and lentils are a classically good combination (especially alongside pork). Here, the mustard and vinegar together are a great foil to the soft, creamy and earthy lentils. For a nuttier vinaigrette, replace the olive oil with walnut oil, which mixes wonderfully with Champagne vinegar.

Roasted Chicken Breasts With Rosemary And Lemon

This is one of the simplest and most flavorful chicken dishes we can imagine. Together, rosemary and lemon have a particular affinity for roasted meats. The hot oven makes the chicken's skin extra-crispy.

Roasted Asparagus

Roasting asparagus with a toss of olive oil is as simple as it is foolproof, and makes the stalks crispy and tender all at once.

Pan-Steamed Bok Choy With Soy

The quick-cook technique of pan-steaming keeps the wonderful crunch of the bok choy intact while adding a little bit of umami flavor with the soy sauce. Cooking the soy sauce helps it blend with the subtle flavor of the bok choy and softens its sharp salty edge.

Chicken In Parchment With Carrots, Tomatoes And Chickpeas

Beef, Radicchio And Green Bean Salad With Chile-Lime Dressing

This is a reasonably light (but filling) salad-as-meal, with all the parts playing beautifully off of each other. For a spicier salad, use a full serrano or some other hot pepper, but don't use too much or you'll overpower the dressing.
