I combined two stars in this recipe: salsa, a food that everyone loves, and artichoke hearts, one of the highest-fiber veggies out there. Not only are chokes one of the easiest ways to increase your fiber intake, but they’re also considered a prebiotic. Prebiotics feed probiotics, which then help to create a gut filled with good bacteria. (Studies suggest a healthy gut promotes better digestion and can aid with weight management.)

Another bonus: They’re easy to prepare. Whole artichokes—which are just as terrific, by the way—are a bit fussy. The hearts, on the other hand, come frozen and canned (either works in this dish) and are a breeze to use in recipes. While this serves as a flavorful salsa for dipping, I also use it to top chicken and fish recipes to enhance the flavor and elevate the presentation.
