Salads

Tomato Salad with Anchovies and Onion

When the tomatoes are as good as they are right now, simple is the only way, and this way’s a great one. I’d eat them on the side of quite literally anything.

Brown Butter Potato Salad

If you came for a potato salad made with mayonnaise, you’re reading the wrong blog. This is a riff on my stepmom’s moms German potato salad, which was my first introduction to potato salad and sort of set, for me, the gold standard for potato salad.

Pasta Salad with Peas and Parmesan

This pasta salad is destined for summer potluck stardom. It gets better as it sits, and is beloved by all.

Farro with Toasted Fennel, Lemon, and Basil

This accidentally vegan springy farro gets better as it sits, making it an ideal candidate to have on hand for lunch for the week.

Peas with Anchovy, Lemon, and All the Radishes

This is a great recipe for switching up your salad routine. It’s filled with peppery radishes, green garlic, sweet, crunchy peas, and a dressing so good you’ll want to keep a jar in your fridge.

Tuna Salad Salad

In the same way I do not want to explore the pizza with the “creative toppings,” (give me A Margarita), I am not interested in a “twist” on a tuna salad, as it falls under a style of food I like to ask to “Please Just Play The Hits,”

Little Gems with Garlicky Lemon and Pistachio

This salad goes with everything, but it’s especially nice for a chicken dinner.

Tangy Fruit Salad

This is a two salad thanksgiving! And this one is tart, refreshing, and beautiful.

Leafy Herb Salad

This salad is more an idea than a recipe. Perfectly paired with big meals.

Fancy Canned Cranberries

The ultimate high-low condiment your table didn’t know it was missing. These dressed-up canned cranberries become tart, juicy and a little bit savory thanks to some fresh citrus, thinly sliced red onion and a little flaky salt.

Grilled Corn and Scallion Salad

The corn is very, very good right now, and you should make this corn salad to celebrate.

Potato Salad with Celery and Mustard

This mustardy, crunchy, tangy, herby, wonderful potato salad makes an excellent plus one at any picnic/bbq/party all summer long. Don’t worry about it being out for too long—it gets better the longer it sits, but it will also surely get eaten quickly.
