Friends, I’m still living on this Trader Joe’s lentil salad, but in anticipation of peak produce season, no-cook dinners, potlucks, and picnics, I’ve compiled all of my favorite salads here. Happy Salading, Friends!
Potato salad with harissa: not your mama’s potato salad:
Quinoa salad with mango, snap peas, ginger, and lime:
A salad made from the contents of my first ever CSA delivery:
Roasted beets, peaches and goat cheese, a salad inspired by one we made at Fork years ago:
Raw zucchini with Pecorino dressed with olive oil and lemon: a classic combination.
Favas and Pecorino: another classic combination.
Melon and cucumber salad: so summery and fresh.
Love this blue cheese dressing made with tangy buttermilk and sherry vinegar:
Summer farro salad with corn, red peppers, and onions:
Edadame & Radish Salad + A few more radish-inspired recipes:
This is the salad that taught me how to cook quinoa properly:
An old favorite from The New Moosewood Cookbook: soba noodles with cucumbers and peanut dressing:
Spring wheatberry salad plus a formula to make any grain salad taste good:
How to please everyone at the bbq this summer: this one is raw, vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free:
This is my favorite slaw: so simple, so good:
If you love “bowls,” you’ll love this one with a lemon-tahini drizzle.
Larb never looks very appetizing but it is so, so good: so light and refreshing:
Cabbage salad with miso-carrot dressing:
A favorite 10-minute, no-cook summer meal:
Love the refreshing Thai flavors in this massaged cabbage slaw:
The trick to growing cilantro + Vietnamese cucumber salad:
I love roasted eggplant, especially atop a smear of cucumber-yogurt sauce.

Thank you. I’m trying to solve my summer lunch dilemmas, when even eating a bowl of warm soup makes me drenched in sweat. This is the first time I’ve heard of eating raw corns. I assume those corns are very young?
Yes, fresh sweet corn is so good… doesn’t need to be cooked!
