While this salad is obviously perfect for fall, it’s so good you’re going to want to eat it all year. The symphony of flavors is perfection — the bitter radicchio, sweet squash, syrupy balsamic, and sharp pickled onions work so beautifully together. And speaking of beautiful, this dish is a total show-stopper.

Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring. It also doesn’t have to require complicated recipes or hard work. Pickled onions are a perfect example of a simple ingredient that elevates a dish without any real effort. It works perfectly in a salad, on tacos, or as a way to breathe new life into a kitchen sink bowl of leftovers.

Cucumbers can be kind of tasteless. Not with this recipe! This Asian cucumber salad is bursting with flavor, and the best part it, it’s super simple and easy to make.

At 4Q Method, we believe eating to lose weight shouldn’t be boring, but green beans can be a boring vegetable. So, we’ve given them a makeover with this recipe to amp up the flavor without amping up the calories. (I know - we don’t really use that word here, but it’s true!)

These green beans are bursting with umami from the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Even if you’re not a fan of green beans, you will be after you try this — trust us!

Everyone loves guac, and at 4Q we are no exception. It’s the perfect healthy fat to add to any meal or snack. Think eggs, tacos, sandwiches, salads, crudité — it truly goes with everything.

And while we may be biased, our guacamole is next level thanks to a surprise ingredient…

This cheesy broccoli soup is just as delicious and comforting as your traditional cheesy broccoli soup, but without the potatoes or cheese, and you would never know the difference! While there is nothing wrong with potatoes or cheese, they tend to get lost in a soup where everything gets blended together. We’d rather eat our fat and starch by enjoying a grilled cheese on the side!

This is a healthy, gluten free, vegan side dish that is full of fiber, protein, and healthy fat! It is not only nutritious, but is a real crowd-please and can be made in under 30 minutes!
