Need a little help adjusting to life after the holidays? Try these quick dinners that are good for you too.
They come from nutritionist Heidi Sze, a monthly recipe columnist for ABC Everyday.
Heidi’s recipes are full of goodies — they’re filled with veggies and use lots of budget-friendly ingredients like pasta, potatoes, legumes, and tuna. They’re also unfussy and delicious.
Here are two large salads, plus a veggie pasta and a lighter version of fish and chips:

Grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, some mangoes while they’re still in season (and cheap!), and make this refreshing herb salad. Take it even further and serve it with garlic butter wraps.
Fast, good for you and satisfying. This salad is ready in just 30 minutes.(ABC everyday: Heidi Sze)
This recipe is perfect for days when you’re low on energy or when you go swimming after work and suddenly feel hungry. It requires a very small amount of cutting and minimal washing up. It’s also a great work lunch!
An easy, silky tomato pasta sauce that’s also vegetarian.ABC Life: Tim Gray)
Roast a few plates of Roma tomatoes during the day (or even on the weekends, this recipe freezes great), then spend just 15 minutes cooking pasta and gently reheating the sauce at night.
Slow roasted tomatoes are delicious and versatile. Spread leftovers on buttered toast or serve with scrambled eggs or a salad.
A nourishing twist on a family favorite.(ABC everyday: Heidi Sze)
Enjoy fish and chips at home without learning how to fry. You can use any firm fish for this recipe and bake it in packets with butter, lemon and parsley. Serve with homemade potato wedges and a quick kale salad.
