Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
One 6-ounce bag sugar snap peas
1 heaping tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated or pressed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 small head fennel, thinly sliced

LEAFY HERB SALAD



Leafy Herb Salad image

This salad is ideal for Thanksgiving or other huge, rich meals, something to nibble on between bites of sour cream potatoes and buttered stuffing. It's more of an idea than a recipe, so feel free to riff on the greens and herbs involved. It should have about a 1:1 ratio of salad greens to herbs, and be very lemony, with plenty of salt.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups spicy greens, such as arugula, mizuna or torn mustard greens
Leaves and tender stems from 1 bunch parsley
Leaves and tender stems from 1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch chives, coarsely chopped
1 to 2 cups mint or dill leaves (optional)
1 lemon
Flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine greens in a large bowl, along with parsley, cilantro and chives. Add mint or dill leaves, if you have them on hand. (It's fine if you don't, but the more the merrier.)
  • Zest lemon over the greens, then halve and squeeze lemon juice all over everything. Season with flaky salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and finish with a good drizzle of olive oil. The salad should be lightly oiled, and heavy on the flaky salt and lemon juice.

CHOPPED SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-RANCH DRESSING



Chopped Salad With Jalapeño-Ranch Dressing image

This chopped salad is fresh, festive and excessive in a celebratory way. While most salads opt for the lightest layer of dressing to optimize the produce's flavors, this one calls for the dressing to generously coat the crisp ingredients. Inspired by Caesar salad, ranch dressing and the dinner-worthy salads popularized at chain restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, this salad is punchy and satisfying, thanks to rich ingredients, like avocado, Cotija and a mayonnaise-thickened dressing, plus those with bite, like radishes, corn kernels and tortilla chips. Pair the salad with grilled tofu, chicken, shrimp or burgers - or nothing at all. This salad eschews subtlety, and hits all the right notes.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 large scallions, trimmed and finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño with its seeds (or to taste)
1 lime, zested
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
3 romaine lettuce hearts (about 1 pound), trimmed and chopped into bite-size pieces
3 fresh ears of corn, shucked, kernels removed from cobs
8 radishes, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons
2 large, ripe avocados, pitted and diced
5 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced at an angle
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija (or grated Parmesan)
1 cup chopped cilantro, leaves and tender stems
2 cups crumbled lime tortilla chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing: In a large measuring cup, whisk all the dressing ingredients together to combine. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. (Makes 1 ¼ cups. It will taste quite salty at this point, and that is intentional. You want it to hold up when tossed with a big pile of vegetables.)
  • In a large shallow bowl or platter, toss the romaine with half of the following ingredients: corn, radishes, avocado, sliced scallions, Cotija and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup dressing and toss to coat. Season again with salt and pepper.
  • Top with the remaining corn, radishes, avocado, scallions, Cotija and cilantro, scattering the garnishes on top or arranging them in stripes or piles. Sprinkle some crumbled tortilla chips on top, if using. Drizzle the salad with an additional 1/4 cup dressing, and serve immediately, serving any remaining dressing and additional tortilla chips alongside.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of greens to add color and texture to your salad. Arugula, watercress, spinach, and kale are all great options.
  • Chop your greens coarsely so that they are easy to eat.
  • Add some fresh herbs to your salad for extra flavor. Mint, cilantro, and basil are all good choices.
  • Use a light vinaigrette dressing to keep your salad healthy and refreshing.
  • Top your salad with some crumbled cheese or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Conclusion:

This chopped green salad with herby chili dressing is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite greens. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
