Healthy Super Bowl Recipes to Make if You Prefer Fresh to Fried Spring Rolls
These are our best healthy super bowl recipes from homemade lettuce wraps to fresh spring rolls.
Sourdough Crackers Recipe
This is one of our best healthy Super Bowl recipes if you’re not a fan of supermarket chips and you’re a sourdough baker. This sourdough starter discard crackers recipe is for you. It makes a crispy cracker that’s a little salty, a tad spicy, a tiny bit tangy, and utterly addictive. Triangular in shape, they’re perfect for scooping up dips and they’re probably the easiest crackers you’ll ever make, so should inspire you to test out more sourdough starter discard recipes.

Homemade Hummus Recipe
This easy authentic hummus recipe makes a homemade traditional creamy hummus that a Lebanese friend taught Terence when we lived in Abu Dhabi in the late Nineties and it’s another one of our best healthy Super Bowl recipes. Like our tapenade and smoked salmon dip, this recipe makes a hummus that beats a store-bought hummus any day. If you have a can of chick peas in the cupboard, hummus is one of the best dip recipes for pairing with crackers and crudités.

Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe
This spicy chicken lettuce wraps recipe makes a Southeast Asian take on the Chinese lettuce cups from Southern China and Hong Kong, popularised in Chinese-Australian restaurants. Our minced chicken lettuce cups take inspiration from northern Southeast Asia, from both savoury larbs (minced meat salads) and the local custom of wrapping street food snacks in lettuce. Light yet filling, this is perfect finger food for your Super Bowl soiree and one of our best healthy Super Bowl recipes.

Thai Som Tam
This classic Thai som tam recipe makes the popular Thai green papaya salad that you’ll eat on the streets of Bangkok. The spicy salad hails from Thailand’s northeastern Isaan region, but now you’ll find this street food favourite all over Thailand, and right across northern Southeast Asia. Use a good quality Thai fish sauce, such as Megachef. It’s a wet salad so it travels well if you’re taking it to a friends’ house.

Thai Corn Salad
Our Thai corn salad recipe makes a simple tossed corn salad that’s inspired by the popular som tam style salad above that’s pounded in a mortar and pestle. While we do love a good classic Thai som tam, it can often be very wet.
This salad works best as a tossed salad and it’s easily another of the best healthy Super Bowl recipes. For those nice char marks and smoky aroma, we do the corn cobs on a griddle pan or a stovetop Korean BBQ grill pan if we’re cooking inside or grill it over a traditional clay brazier if we’re cooking out.

Mexican Grilled Corn Salad
While this Mexican grilled corn salad recipe makes a terrific salad for spring picnics or summer barbecues, it’s a fantastic year-round salad and is easily another of the best healthy Super Bowl recipes. You can serve it as a traditional tossed salad in a big bowl or you can serve it individually.

Mexican Street Corn in a Cup
Our Mexican street corn in a cup recipe for Mexico’s esquites or elote en vaso, which means ‘corn in a cup’, makes a Mexican street food snack or antojitos, meaning ‘little cravings’, that we became addicted to on our first trip to Mexico many years ago. It’s also super easy to make, especially if you have leftover corn on the cob, and it’s easily another of the best healthy Super Bowl recipes.
