Snow Peas with Creamy Ranch Dressing Low-fat mayo and nonfat buttermilk keep this ranch dressing low in fat and calories. It’s great with raw snow peas or most any vegetable you have on hand.

Cherry-Vanilla Bean Milkshake So thick you’ll need a straw and a long spoon to enjoy this frosty cherry-vanilla milkshake.

Broccoli, Ham & Pasta Salad A great make-ahead entree, this lightened-up pasta salad is loaded with broccoli and peppers. Smoky ham and sweet raisins give it plenty of punch. Enjoy the leftovers for a fuss-free lunch

Shrimp Panzanella This fresh-tasting panzanella (Italian bread-and-tomato salad) is made with shrimp, olives and plenty of herbs. You’ll need olives packed in flavorful brine to make the dressing

Chicken & White Bean Salad Zucchini and celery give this chicken-and-bean salad a nice crunch. We like serving it over a bed of slightly bitter escarole and radicchio, but any type of salad greens will work.
