This deceptively simple recipe yields an unusually complex combination of flavors and textures with few ingredients.

In this inspired alternative to traditional holiday desserts, pears are dusted with palm sugar (low on the glycemic scale) and cardamom and then roasted and served over a pool of rich blueberry sauce.

This warm, complete-protein salad is a likely candidate to change that—and not only for vegans avoiding Big Bird.

Just as rich as bread-and-butter stuffing but without the grains and excess fat—and packing a bevy of unexpected flavors—it’s a health oasis on the holiday table.
