Salads

Fiesta Corn Salad

A colorful, cool, crunchy, spicy side that’s great for a barbecue. Other than some chopping, this is almost effortless and can be made well in advance.

Firecracker Salad

Crunchy and cool, spicy and bright, and pretty as a picture – this easy salad makes a perfect side for summer grilling.

Green Bean Salad with Mint and Basil

This is perfect with lunch on a hot summer day – the cool, crisp string beans and bright flavors of mint and basil are incredibly refreshing, and other than boiling a pot of water, there’s no cooking involved.

Moroccan Carrot Salad

This unusual variation on a simple carrot salad is tangy, colorful, and pretty as a picture.

Palm Hearts & Red Peppers with Lettuce

This is a quick, simple salad that is equally appropriate as the salad course of a dinner party or as a tossed salad alongside a weeknight supper of lasagna or soup.

Potato Salad for a Party

It took me years to work out a potato salad recipe that I actually like, and here it is. If you’re not cooking for a crowd, cut this recipe in half. It can also be doubled for a big event, and made up to 2 days in advance.

Salad Shirazi

Cool, bright, and crunchy, this Persian salad is typical of the Iranian table and goes very well with grilled meats and spicy main dishes.
