PHOTOS AND STORY BY LYNDA BALSLEV

Healthy recipes that are big on flavor when you’re short on time.

Spring is fast approaching, and with that comes longer days, warmer weather, and busier schedules. As our calendars fill, it’s important to have a few recipes to rely on for healthy dinners that fun to eat and easy to prepare. These recipes are fresh and delicious, with tips on time-saving prep and building flavor in a short amount of time, ensuring good eating for the entire family all season long.

Salade Niçoise

Une salade for dinner? Yes, please. This classic French salad is easy to prep. Once you’ve got the ingredients checked, it takes minutes to assemble. The beans, potatoes, and egg can be cooked in advance. Be sure to use a high-quality oil-packed tuna, which can be purchased in advance and stashed in the pantry, ready for an impulsive weeknight dinner. The olive oil truly makes a difference, adding richness and lip-smacking flavor to the tuna.

Serves 4

Vinaigrette:

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 garlic clove, minced or pushed through a press

1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salad:

8 ounces green beans or haricots verts

12 ounces new or small potatoes

Butter lettuce leaves

2 to 3 hard cooked eggs, peeled, halved or quartered

1 small English cucumber, with skin, sliced on the diagonal

1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup black olives, such as Kalamata or Niçoise

12 ounces tuna fillets in olive oil

(half-heartedly drained)

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 to 2 tablespoons capers, drained

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Finely grated lemon zest

1 Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the oil in a steady stream whisking constantly to emulsify. Set aside until use (briefly whisk again before serving).

2 Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until bright in color and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.

3 To the same pot, add the potatoes. Bring the water back to a boil, then partially cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes, depending on size. Drain and cool. Halve the potatoes and place in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon vinaigrette and toss to coat.

4 Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter or in a large shallow serving bowl. Mound the beans, potatoes, egg halves, cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives in a clockwise fashion around the plate. Place the tuna in the center. Scatter the onions and capers over the salad, then drizzle with the dressing to your taste. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest and serve immediately.

Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs with Cippolini Onions and Mushrooms

Sheet pans are a busy cook’s best friend. Spread all the dinner ingredients on one rimmed baking sheet and let the oven do the work. This cozy chicken dinner self-bastes in the oven, while the onions and mushrooms brown and absorb the chicken juices. To build more flavor, rub the chicken with the oil up to 24 hours in advance of roasting.

Serves 4

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced or pushed through a press

6 to 8 bone-in chicken thighs, with skin

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

6 to 8 cippolini onions, peeled, halved crosswise

1 to 1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, porcini, halved or thickly sliced if large

2 rosemary sprigs, halved, plus fresh chopped rosemary for garnish

1 Heat the oven to 375°F.

2 Combine 2 tablespoons oil, the garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over the chicken and under the skin. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

3 Spread the onions and mushrooms on the sheet pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the pan and stir the vegetables to coat.

Season with salt and black pepper.

4 Nestle the chicken between the vegetables. Scatter the rosemary around the chicken. Roast in the oven until the chicken is golden and cooked through (the internal temperature of the chicken should register 165°F), about 40 minutes, stirring the vegetables once or twice. Serve with the pan juices and fresh rosemary.

Shrimp Creole

A one-pot stew makes for an easy family dinner. This creole-inspired dish takes a mere 30 minutes to prepare, while the contents of your spice drawer ensure the fragrant, deep flavor of a slow-cooked meal. Clean the shrimp in advance of preparing or purchase cleaned shrimp to save the step. Start the rice cooking on the stove while the stew simmers, and your meal will be ready at once.

Serves 4 To 5

Spices:

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

Stew:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 celery ribs, chopped

1 large yellow onion, chopped

1 large green bell pepper, chopped Kosher salt

2 large garlic cloves, minced or pushed through a press

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 cups chicken broth

1 (28-ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 bay leaf

1 1/2 pounds large (16/18) shrimp, peeled and deveined

Freshly ground black pepper

2 to 3 scallions, chopped, divided Chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves Cooked long grain white rice, for serving

1 Combine the spices in a small bowl.

2 Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, bell pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the spices and tomato paste and cook, stirring to toast, about 30 seconds. Add the stock, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf.

3 Partially cover the pot and simmer over medium-low for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon.

4 Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add to the pot. Continue to cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in half of the scallions.

5 Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining scallions and parsley. Serve with rice.
