600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

Tonight’s sophisticated dish highlights French green lentils, a hearty variety known for its rich, earthy flavor. We’re tossing them together with sautéed spinach and a refreshing duo of cucumber and tomatoes. A bright Dijon mustard dressing ties all the flavors together—with help from shaved parmesan and sunny side-up eggs, whose yolks add another layer of richness.

instructions
1
Cook the lentils:
Heat a medium saucepan of salted water to boiling on high. Rinse the lentils and drain thoroughly. Once the saucepan of water is boiling, add the rinsed lentils and cook, uncovered, 25 to 27 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water to cool. Return to the pot.
2
Prepare the ingredients & season the vegetables:
While the lentils cook, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Cut the chives into 1-inch pieces. Quarter the tomatoes. Medium dice the cucumber. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, ¼ of the vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
3
Make the dressing:
While the lentils continue to cook, in a bowl, whisk together the mustard, sugar, remaining vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Cook the spinach & finish the vegetables:
While the lentils continue to cook, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the shallot and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until wilted. Transfer to the bowl of seasoned vegetables. Stir to thoroughly combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Wipe out the pan.
5
Fry the eggs:
While the lentils continue to cook, in the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Keeping them separate, crack the eggs into the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat.
6
Finish the lentils & plate your dish:
Add the finished vegetables, dressing, and half the chives to the pot of cooled lentils; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the finished lentils between 2 dishes. Top with the fried eggs. Garnish with the cheese and remaining chives. Enjoy!
