Sweet Potato-Edamame Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup shelled frozen edamame
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • ¼ cup refrigerated ginger dressing
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sliced fresh green onions
Steps
    1. Peel potatoes and cut into ¼-inch cubes. Place potatoes and water in microwave-safe bowl and cover; microwave on HIGH 3–4 minutes. Stir in edamame; microwave 4–5 more minutes until potatoes and edamame are tender. Drain and let stand to cool 5 minutes.
    2. Chop bell pepper (¾ cup). Combine dressing and mayonnaise in large bowl; fold in peppers, onions, and potato mixture until evenly coated. Serve.
Thyme Pork with Cherry Sauce
Ingredients
  • ½ cup sherry vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 cup fresh cherries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 4 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork chops (about 2 lb)
Steps
    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Combine in medium saucepan: vinegar, honey, mustard, hot sauce, paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer on medium-low. Pit cherries and chop, then add to sauce; cook 7–8 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and cherries are soft (sauce will thicken as it cools). Meanwhile, chop thyme.
    2. Combine thyme, oil, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt; coat pork on both sides with mixture (wash hands). Grill pork 4–5 minutes on each side until pork is 145°F. Serve with cherry sauce.
Serving Suggestions
  • Complete your meal with fresh salad blend, gluten-free bread, and fresh fruit for dessert.
  • If cherries aren't in season, you can substitute frozen cherries; no need to thaw, just check for pits and add to the sauce.
