Grilled Zucchini and Bulgur Salad With Feta and Preserved-Lemon Dressing
Zucchini from the grill is one of summer’s simple pleasures. The high heat coaxes smoky, sweet flavors from otherwise mellow squash. Charred zucchini pairs particularly well with sharp flavors. In this summery dinner salad recipe, it’s matched by the deep savory notes of preserved-lemon paste and the tang of creamy feta. If you don’t have a grill, use a large grill pan set over the highest heat on your stovetop to deeply brown.
29 Fall Salads to Get You in That Leaf-Peeping Mood
While summer salads are glorious, we have a soft spot for fall salads. These salads often work as complete meals on their own—but they’re also ideal for accompanying whatever dinner you feel like roasting now that the weather has cooled enough to turn on your oven again. Here are our very best fall salad recipes.
These 3 Thai Recipes Take Salads to Sour, Sweet, Spicy Heights
When Arnold Myint began to delve into traditional Thai cooking, specifically the food culture of his mother’s homeland, he was blown away by the salads he found. These salads were not just the start of a meal or a light midday lunch—they were on another level of bringing together sour, salty, sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. Here's how to make these Thai salads at home.
Marinated Cucumbers With Curled Scallion Salad Recipe
Marinated cucumbers are one of the best snacks during the heat of summer and this nutty version is a worthy addition to your salad rotation. The dressing recipe is a simple yet punchy combination of peanut butter, lime juice, and a touch of sriracha. And the delicious curled scallion salad makes this recipe truly exciting. Serve this dish as a side to your favorite proteins or as a quick summer salad course.
Quinoa a la Mexicana
This refreshing and flavorful, protein-rich salad brings in some of the flavors of the traditional salsa Mexicana that’s often served alongside grilled fish. Blackened green onions are transformed into a smooth and herbaceous dressing with lime juice, cilantro, and avocado oil. The lightly salted cucumbers, blistered tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a touch of crispy quinoa and lime zest make this the salad you want on repeat.
29 Best Make-Ahead Salads You Can Make Now and Eat Later
With plenty of delicate butter lettuces, leafy romaine, and wispy microgreens, the moment you dress a salad, it starts to wilt. But there’s a better (and less expensive) way to keep your desk lunch supplies stocked through the week and to work ahead for that backyard barbecue you’re planning. There are plenty of salads that remain crunchy, verdant, and bright-tasting for hours (and days) after you’ve assembled them. Here are some of our favorite make-ahead salads for your next bento or potluck.
Three Green Bean and Bulgur Salad
This spring-y green bean salad recipe with fava beans and snow peas puts the nutty bulgur to good use—but wild rice or quinoa would make good substitutes as well. The honey vinaigrette is the real star of this salad; you may want to make a double batch to drizzle over salads and grains all week. This recipe keeps salt in check for those looking for low sodium recipes; if sodium isn’t a medical concern for you, feel free to salt to taste.
The New Wedge Salad With Better-Than-Thousand-Island Dressing
A wedge of iceberg lettuce with crisp bacon and juicy tomatoes, drenched in blue cheese dressing, is a well-established American classic. But I often want to change up a classic, taking it into new territory. Here, wedges of leafy romaine are a fresh starting point to add crunchy fried peas, pickled onions, and a creamy sun-dried tomato dressing that’s reminiscent of Thousand Island, but better.
Fennel-Orange Salad Recipe
Looking for a refreshing side to brighten up your table? This fennel and orange salad is just the thing. Crisp, thinly sliced fennel ribbons (which have a licorice-like flavor) meet juicy orange wedges and briny olives in this vibrant dish. This refreshing salad recipe calls for navel or blood oranges, but if citrus is in season, change it up with blush-hued Cara Caras or sweet-tart pomelo. Serve this salad as an appetizer or pair it with a hearty braise, like chicken with citrus and olives.
