Is there a website or service where you can input particular foods (for a special health related diet) and it'll spit out recipes based on the ingredients entered?

Best answer: The Epicurious advanced recipe finder should fit the bill.

Best answer: Myfridgefood.com does this, with the intention of using food in your fridge so it doesn't go bad. You could use it and just enter all the healthy ingredients you want to use!

Supercook.com. (Like the site in shortyJBot's answer, the focus is on using up ingredients you already have on hand -- you'd just customize your fridge and pantry holdings to generate the recipes you'd like.)

The BBC food website has this feature and pulls up recipes from all their cooking shows.
