This sweet potato salad is full of anti-inflammatory foods like cherries, kale, avocado and—of course—sweet potatoes, which are packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals to keep inflammation at bay.

This bright lemony soup gets its boost of fiber and earthy, nutty flavor from ingredients like lentils and bulgur. Bulgur adds heartiness and a nice chewy texture, but you can swap it out for another cooked grain like brown rice or quinoa. Plus, the broth gets gentle heat from harissa paste. If you don’t wish to travel with vegetable broth or don’t have access to a microwave, you can use reduced-sodium bouillon instead and just add hot water.
