Salad

A beautifully simple salad.

A salad where one of the main ingredients is cheese? Okay yes.

How to make a simple salad look like the work of a pro.

It's not about the number of steps or ingredients in a dish. If you shop smart, buying peak-season produce and quality protein, you don't have to do much at all (like with this easy salad recipe).

Serve this salad as soon as it is assembled so all of the tomato juices and flavor stay where they belong.

We highly recommend using more than one type of radish for this salad—it really makes a difference in both texture and presentation.

You can make this salad ahead of time—but wait until an hour before to add the lemon juice, which will prevent the shrimp from getting tough.

Peewee Dutch Yellow Potatoes are the perfect tiny potato for this recipe, but if you can’t find them, just use the smallest fingerling or Yukon Gold potatoes you can buy.

Pro move: Save the spicy broth and sprinkle with some chopped cilantro or scallions to sip on later.

This dressing goes great with avocado salad, but we love it with simply prepared salmon, chicken, or rice as well.

Whipping up a homemade Caesar salad dressing is easier than you might think and definitely worth your while.

Psst…you don’t need to presoak or preshuck corn before grilling it. Just put the whole ears on the grate and the husks and silk will slip right off afterward. You’re welcome.

Lapsang, a black tea from China, may taste too strong and smoky when you sip it on its own, but it will mellow out as it marinates with the fish.

What makes this salad special is the miso ranch dressing and the pulverized nori.

We call this a hand salad because lettuce and dip just doesn’t sound like nearly as much fun.

Rye berries are sold with their hull intact, which means they’ll take a bit longer to cook than other grains but will reward your patience with al-dente chewy nuttiness.

Crisp-skinned fish isn’t about high heat.

This puréed lemon dressing with olive oil, miso, and honey is the ideal base note for pleasantly bitter radicchio.

Nutritional yeast, silken tofu, and capers mimic the anchovies and egg yolks in a classic Caesar. Genius!

Tired of spinach in your smoothie? This recipe is the perfect way to eat something green in the morning.
