Takeout Tuesday: Eat healthy in advance of your Thanksgiving feast

El Basha, 7503 Pacific St. This neighborhood favorite has always offered takeout. That’s good, because the cozy, dark-lit dining room often was crowded in the pre-pandemic days. Try the shawarma, marinated beef or chicken served over rice with tomatoes, onions and tahini or garlic sauce. It’s wonderful. The Greek salad with pita wedges is a delicious meal in itself. And be sure to get hummus as an appetizer. I think this is where I’ll go this week. elbashagrill.com

Sofra Creperie, 1911 S. 67th St. in the Inner Rail Food Hall. I love crepes, so now that I know this has curbside delivery, I’m on my way. It has plenty of lighter options: Mediterranean, just veggies including spinach and my favorite kalamata olives; a classic club, with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and white cheddar; and even lox, with smoked salmon. Crepes are thin and light, so you’re not loading up on bread. That way you can indulge in the s’mores offering: All the taste without the campfire. sofracreperie.com

Blue Belly Salad is one of nearly two dozen salads on the Greenbelly menu.

Greenbelly, 210 N. 114th St., 1405 S. 204th St., Suite 101; and 1917 S. 67th St. There are 23 — count ‘em — 23 salads on the Greenbelly menu, and that doesn’t count the build-your-own option. If you can’t find a healthy meal here, you’re not trying. Not sure why I’ve never been there, but when I do (soon), I’m going straight to the dill chicken salad. Next trip: the very berry salad. It also has a broad selection of pizzas and wraps (which come both in lettuce and whole-wheat tortillas). You could eat here once a week for a year and still not sample everything. And I’m willing to try. thegreenbelly.com
