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.

A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. For those chefs following ADA guidelines, it is recommended that no additional salt be added to this recipe when prepared and for chefs to skip all salting steps of a recipe.

We’re centering this warming salad on the incredible golden beet. An heirloom variety, golden beets are prized for their mildly earthy and sweet flavor—and for their beautiful, sunshiny color. (They lack the purple pigment that makes other beets red.) Here, we’re boiling them to perfect tenderness, then marinating them in red wine vinegar and minced shallot to deepen their flavor. They pair deliciously with lightly tart apple and rich goat cheese, bolstered by hearty, nutty freekeh.

instructions
1
Cook the freekeh:
Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the freekeh. Cook 18 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl; set aside. Rinse and wipe out the pot.
2
Prepare the ingredients:
While the freekeh cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Trim off and discard the thin roots of the beets; peel the beets and slice into ½-inch-thick rounds. Pick off and reserve some of the fennel fronds (the green, thread-like tops of the plant). Thinly slice the fennel stems and bulb. Core and small dice the apple; toss with a teaspoon of the vinegar to prevent browning. Peel and mince the shallot to get 2 tablespoons of minced shallot (you may have extra shallot). In a small bowl, combine the minced shallot and remaining vinegar.
3
Cook & marinate the beets:
While the freekeh continues to cook, add the beets to the large pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl. Add the shallot-vinegar mixture; Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Wipe out the pot.
4
Cook the fennel:
While the beets cook, in the same pot used to cook the freekeh, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the fennel stems and bulb. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Transfer to the bowl of cooked freekeh.
5
Finish the salad & plate your dish:
Add the marinated beets, apple, walnuts and arugula to the bowl of freekeh and fennel. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to thoroughly combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the finished salad between 2 dishes. Garnish with the fennel fronds and goat cheese. Enjoy!
