CORN AND SCALLION SALAD WITH CILANTRO-MINT DRESSING
Steps:
- Combine the mint, cilantro, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the honey and some salt and pepper in a blender, and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Taste, and then add more honey, salt and pepper as desired. Set aside for later use.

Cool slightly and remove the kernels from the cobs. Combine the corn, greens and green onions in a bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Add some of the dressing and toss to coat. Top with the cheese and another drizzle of dressing. Serve immediately.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND SCALLION SALAD
In this hearty, many-textured salad, soft, roasted asparagus is tossed with chewy whole grains and crisp, sweet caramelized scallions. You can use freekeh or farro here for the grains. Both are whole-wheat kernels, but the freekeh has a slightly smoky note from being toasted, while the farro is nuttier-tasting. You can prepare the freekeh or farro ahead and let it marinate in the dressing for up to six hours, but it's best to roast the asparagus and scallions within an hour of serving. Don't use pecorino Romano here, it's too sharp. If you can't find a young pecorino, use a young manchego or even a nice Cheddar, and serve this as a light main course or a salad course to a more substantial meal.

Steps:
- Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil, stir in freekeh or farro, cover, and simmer until al dente, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and pinch salt and pepper. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil, whisking constantly.
- Drain freekeh and stir immediately into dressing while still warm.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread asparagus and scallions over a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with oil, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then arrange in a single layer. Roast until they start to char in spots, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly: The asparagus are best while still a little warm but not hot enough to wilt the greens.
- Toss salad greens in the bowl with freekeh and dressing until leaves are coated, and transfer to serving platter. Top with roasted asparagus and scallions, shave cheese over salad if you like, and serve.

CLASSIC CARROT SALAD
Maybe your family has made carrot salad forever, or maybe you've seen it at potlucks, but if you're not familiar with this Southern classic, your inner voice might be screaming, "Raisins don't belong in salad!" But relax: This just might be the only time they do. The soft, sweet raisins complement the crunchy carrots, which are finished with a tangy dressing. Soak the raisins in hot water to give them a different, more plump texture. If you aren't a fan of mayonnaise or yogurt, use 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, and add some chopped fresh parsley. Let the crunchy-sweet flavors roll over your tastebuds as you realize you've made a simple, and delicious, dish in less than 15 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, add pineapple, raisins, mayonnaise, honey and orange zest (if using). Mix until combined.
- Add carrots to dressing and fold together all the ingredients using a rubber spatula or tongs.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then serve chilled.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, choose fresh, young carrots. Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and brightly colored.
- Use a variety of scallions: Both the white and green parts of scallions can be used in this salad. For a more delicate flavor, use only the white parts. For a more assertive flavor, use both the white and green parts.
- Shred the carrots thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
- Make sure the dressing is well-balanced: The dressing should be sweet, sour, and salty. Adjust the amounts of honey, vinegar, and salt to your taste.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
