Apple, Celery Root & Fennel Salad with Hazelnuts
A truly interesting salad perfect for winter meals. It requires a few less-common ingredients that are worth getting to know.
Salads
Arugula Salad
Quick and bright, the salad puts the peppery flavor of arugula front and center.
Asparagus Citrus Salad
This makes a very nice brunch salad or first course for a dinner party.
Bacon & Shallot Warm Potato Salad
This warm German-style potato salad makes an easy side-dish.
Caesar Salad
Every cook should be able to produce this simple and delicious dressing. I like to use whole leaves of romaine for my Caesar salad. It preserves the crispness of the lettuce and gives the dish a dramatic, structural appearance.
Cajun Hearts of Palm Salad
This vinaigrette also makes a nice marinade for any number of cold vegetables.
Celeri Remoulade (Celery Root Salad)
An old bistro classic, this salad is crunchy, sharp with Dijon mustard, and utterly delicious. It’s an invigorating start to a rich meal.
Cointreau Citrus Salad
This is more of a tip than a recipe – a simple, make-ahead fruit salad that is perfect for brunch.
Coleslaw
Coleslaw has never been my favorite thing, although I like it fine. This is very nice version, though - perfect for a summer barbecue.
Fattoush
This Middle Eastern salad is unusual and insanely good, with crunchy “croutons” made of shards of pita bread.
