24 Anti-Inflammatory Recipes You Can Feel Great About Eating

Eating anti-inflammatory foods definitely doesn't have to mean eating bland or boring foods. Far from it! Whether you're following a special diet or simply want to add more anti-inflammatory recipes to your meal rotation, these fresh and healthy recipes have something for everyone. From salads and soups to and easy one-skillet meals, these dishes couldn't be easier to whip up. By leaning on inflammation-fighting ingredients like tomatoes, fish, olive oil, and leafy greens (and limiting foods like beef, fried foods, and refined carbohydrates), you'll be feeling better and eating fantastically in no time.

But first, let's investigate why we've focused on these ingredients. First up: Tomatoes, one of our favorite nutritional powerhouses. They naturally help fight inflammation and shine in a wide variety of healthy dishes, like burrata salad, grilled tomatoes, and avocado chicken salad.

Meanwhile, salmon and other fatty, Omega-rich fish (like tuna, mackerel, and sardines) also help ease inflammation and are an amazing source of protein. You won't miss the red meat (which is a typically inflammatory food), especially after you try our recipes for grilled honey chipotle foil packets with summer squash, Greek salmon salads, and spicy salmon bowls. Got some canned tuna in the pantry? Try the easiest, yet still impressive anti-inflammation recipe of them all: a Niçoise salad!
