Salads

Bright, substantial, never sad

Salad is the most maligned category in cooking. Done badly, it's a chore — limp leaves and watery dressing. Done well, it's some of the most exciting eating there is: layers of crunch, salt, fat, and acid in every bite.

These salads are built to be meals on their own. They lean on hardy greens that don't wilt, generous handfuls of herbs, beans or cheese for body, and dressings with enough fat and acid to actually taste like something. Most of them get better in the fridge, which makes them the rare salad you can pack for tomorrow.
