ORDER NOW.]( Dear friend, A salad has the potential to be the star of your table: a complete meal that’s fresh, colorful, full of flavor, and satisfyingly filling. We get excited perusing the salad section of a restaurant menu, but when it comes to having salad at home, we often settle for small riffs on the lettuce and tomato two-step. Our team decided to rethink salads by expanding the range and variety of what goes with what and how far we could push the concept into a new terrain of tastes and textures. I think you’re going to be happy that we did. [Carrot Noodle Salad with Harissa and Honey; Edamame and Shrimp Salad; Black-Eyed Pea Salad with Peaches and Pecans.]( [The Complete Salad Cookbook]( contains more than 200 delicious, imaginative recipes that combine ingredients in novel ways that make a surprising amount of sense on the plate and palate. Sweetness balances spicy heat in Carrot Noodle Salad with Harissa and Honey . Go-to herbs mint and basil bring light, summery flavor and arugula delivers a subtle peppery bite to Edamame and Shrimp Salad. While there are lots of green salads here, that’s just the start. Chapters also center around fruits and vegetables, pasta and noodles, and lentils and grains. Some recipes call for beef, egg, chicken, seafood, or tofu, but you can add these (or omit them) in practically any recipe. You’ll find more variations than usual because once our test cooks’ creativity was sparked, great ideas kept coming. Liberated from the relatively precise ingredient and prep needs of a baking recipe for instance, their creative juices flowed. So can yours. Get your copy of [The Complete Salad Cookbook]( directly from our shop and become a salad virtuoso. The sky’s the limit when it comes to what you can make.

From an overview of the salad types such as chopped, sliced, boiled, grilled, roasted, wilted, tossed, composed, wrapped, bound (think salads held together by creamy mayo or another dressing) to prep tips for shaving, spiralizing, grating, and removing liquid from ingredients for optimum flavor. We offer tips for pairing foods in intriguing ways to contrast textures, colors, flavors, and aromas and show you how to prevent waste by using every part of a vegetable.

Leafy Salads [Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad]( Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad Maybe you’ve had grilled chicken on your Cobb salad, but grilled avocados and romaine, too? How very Californian. Grilling amps up the flavor of the avocados and greens and gives this dinner salad a summertime twist. Serve this fresh take on a classic favorite with a shower of chopped fresh chives. Technique: Want crispy bacon? Add water. It’s counterintuitive but true . . . the addition of water keeps the initial cooking temperature low and gentle, so the bacon retains its moisture and turns out crispy and tender instead of dry and crumbly. [Seared Tuna Poke Bowl]( Seared Tuna Poke Salad [Southwest Beef Salad with Cornbread Croutons ]( Southwest Beef Salad with Cornbread Croutons Fruit and Vegetable Salads [Carrot and Smoked Salmon Salad]( Carrot and Smoked Salmon Salad This beautiful orange hued salad gets its color from pickled carrots, roasted carrots, red grapefruit, smoked salmon, and a garnish of carrot tops (if you can’t find carrots with tops, parsley makes a good substitute). It is also unique in its combination of sweet, tangy flavors and soft, crunchy, textures, and makes a great brunch dish. Technique: A quick shave and pickle Shave carrots to get more surface area and then pickle the pieces in vinegar, sugar, and salt for just 45 minutes (drained pickled carrots will keep in the fridge for 5 days).

[order now]( Pasta and Noodle Salads [Creamy Corn Farfalle Salad]( Creamy Corn Farfalle Salad Uncooked corn serves as the sauce for this recipe that comes together in a flash. Process corn to a smooth puree, adding some hot water to get it smooth. Toss with cooked pasta, adding sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes for tang and a subtle kick. Fresh mint and roasted pepitas finish the dish in style. Frozen corn can be substituted for fresh, if desired. Technique: Overcook your pasta For pasta salads that can be made ahead and refrigerated (such as this one), cook pasta not to al dente but until tender. This way the pasta absorbs more dressing and doesn’t dry out quickly.

Toasted and simmered in broth with chipotle chile in adobo, tomato paste, anchovy paste, and cumin, the quinoa acquires a rich, spiced, meaty flavor. This salad is so hearty that it doesn’t even need tortilla chips, but if you can’t eat a taco salad without them, bring on the crunch. Technique: Ensure that grains don’t clump Spreading grains such as quinoa on a baking sheet after cooking allows them to cool and prevents them from clumping [Chickpea Salad with Roasted Red Peppers and Feta]( Chickpea Salad with Roasted Red Peppers and Feta [Turmeric Rice and Chicken Salad with Herbs ]( Turmeric Rice and Chicken Salad with Herbs Leafy, chewy, crispy, crunchy, & creamy.
