Blue Cheese and Bacon Lettuce Boats

Think of this recipe as your favorite bacony wedge salad reimagined as an additive party snack.

Garlicky Yogurt Dip with Herb Jam and Toasted Almonds

Winter Panzanella With Stuffing Croutons

Stuffing salad still counts as salad, right? In this recipe, it does.

Alt-Grain Porridge with Garlicky Greens

Garlic and collard greens make a healthy addition to this porridge recipe, but you can use any leftover greens you have on hand.

Sausage, Greens, and Beans Pasta

The genius of this pasta recipe is in the contrast of the textures and flavors. If spicy isn’t your thing, sub in any fresh sausage you like.

Creamy Ranch Slaw

Use this creamy slaw as one of the toppings for the Ranch Dog, or as a condiment or side next to pretty much anything else!

Ultimate BLT

Two sweet-salty finishings let guests craft their own signature sandwiches, but if you’re a purist, leave them off and let the (excellent) bacon speak for itself.

Classic Spinach Salad

Mature spinach has a stronger flavor than baby spinach and holds up better to this creamy dressing. 

Dandelion, Date, and Blue Cheese Salad with Brown Butter Croutons

Feel free to use any of the leafy greens listed here, but dandelion is ideal for its spicy, sturdy leaves.

Summer Greens with Mustardy Potatoes and Six-Minute Egg

Who said potato salad had to be boring? Or egg salad, for that matter! This deconstructed salad combines the best of both worlds, and is versatile to be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Summer Rolls

You can substitute any crisp vegetables and small pieces of protein, just make sure not to overstuff or the wrappers will split.

BLT Lettuce Wraps

Bibb lettuce leaves are sturdy and crispy enough to balance out the bacon, tomatoes, and avocado for these lunch-friendly wraps. This recipe is part of our lunch for a week series; ‎check out the rest for the remaining days here.

Hand Salad With Buttermilk, Grapefruit, and Mixed Seeds

These snaggable, snackable wedges have more in common with a bowl of party mix than any perfunctory salad.

Bacon, Mushroom, and Spinach Pierogies

To make this vegetarian, omit bacon and add 4 Tbsp. olive oil for browning mushrooms. 

Colcannon

There are as many colcannon recipes as there are cooks in Ireland. This one uses softened and crunchy savoy cabbage, as well as garlic and leeks for extra depth.

Cannellini Beans With Spinach

If there is a lot of liquid in the pan when the spinach is done, drain it before adding the beans.

Baby Romaine and Hot Smoked Salmon Salad

The not-so-secret formula behind Sweetgreen and other DIY salad spots? And the key to making this smoked salmon recipe? It's called mise en place. Prep the components in advance, then put it all together later.

Escarole with Crispy Ham and Eggs

Like all good leafy greens, the giant pile of escarole leaves will wilt down dramatically as they cook.

Endive and Fennel Gratin

The liquid will not submerge the endive at first, and that’s okay. Take the gratin out of the oven after 10 minutes and press down with a spatula to submerge the endive in cream.
