Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook, 3 minutes, then add the sugar snap peas and cook for 1 minute more. Drain the vegetables and run under cold water until cool, then pat dry and set aside.
- Combine the mustard, soy sauce and garlic in a large mixing bowl for the base of the dressing. Slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl, whisking constantly, to emulsify into a thick dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the blanched vegetables to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Add the cranberries, almonds, parsley, dill and fennel. Toss gently to combine and ensure the ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
LEAFY HERB SALAD
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.

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.
SIMPLE GREEN SALAD WITH HERB VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- To make the salad: rinse the lettuce in chilled water. Remove from water, wrap in damp paper towels and refrigerate.
- Marinate the cucumber, celery, squash, carrots, tomatoes, and onions, separately, with the herb vinaigrette. Cover each, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Slice the tortillas into 4-inch long, thin, triangular strips.
- In a large pan, add 1/2-inch of oil and heat. When the oil is hot, fry the tortillas until they are crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, season, and let cool.
- Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Add the marinated vegetables and toss with some more of the Herbed Vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the crispy tortilla strips.
- To make the dressing: in a small food processor, combine all ingredients and blend for 45 seconds to 1 minute until emulsified.
CHOPPED SALAD WITH JALAPEñO-RANCH DRESSING
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.

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.
