Delight your family (or just yourself) with this low-carb Mediterranean fare—it's a top-rated recipe on Epicurious. Dill, one of the traditional Greek spices used in the dish, is packed with kaempferol, an antioxidant linked to lower levels of heart disease. Shrimp, which is loaded with vitamin B12, may also help protect your ticker by lowering blood levels of homocysteine (a risk factor for heart disease). Continue the Hellenic theme and have Roasted Plums with Greek Yogurt for dessert.

brought to you by epicurious.com and NutritionData.com
Calories 328; Total Fat 16g; Carbohydrates 5g
This low-calorie and low-carb dish comes together quickly and easily but is elegant enough for company. Yellowfin tuna is a good source of omega-3 fats, which improve your cardiovascular health and fight inflammation. Some research also indicates that omega-3s may reduce depression. The flavorful herb salad is much higher in antioxidants than regular lettuce. For dessert, try grilling some halved and pitted plums.
