  • Grilled Ratatouille Pasta Salad. Grill eggplant and zucchini, then toss with hot pasta, fresh tomatoes, herbs, and mozzarella for an almost instant ratatouille-inspired pasta dinner.
  • Cold Sesame Noodles with Broccoli and Kale. If you love sesame seeds, you'll love this noodle dish, which tossed with loads of them, plus high-heat roasted broccoli, torn Tuscan kale, and refreshing mint.
  • Romesco Pasta Salad with Basil and Parmesan. The reason this salad holds up so well at room temperature is because you dress it twice. It absorbs the first round of dressing completely, the second addition keeps it glossy, and a fistful of walnuts and breadcrumbs means there's always something to bite into.
  • Pasta Salad with Spring Vegetables and Tomatoes. Ginger-roasted cherry tomatoes, skillet-charred snap peas and scallions, and plenty of fresh basil and mint make this light take on pasta salad eminently craveable.

  • Kale and Brussels Sprout Salad. Coarsely chopped toasted almonds add serious crunch to this hearty salad. Get This Recipe.
  • Grilled Chicken Salad with Romesco Sauce. Purée grilled bell peppers, almond butter, sherry vinegar, and garlic into an irresistibly smoky-sweet sauce that's great served with a crunchy grilled chicken salad.
  • Endive with Tart Apple Dressing and Blue Cheese. The dressing has virtually no oil in it, balancing acidity with the sweetness of apple juice and fattiness of the cheese and nuts.
  • Radicchio Salad with Caramelized Carrots and Onions. Caramelized carrots and red onions add a fork-tender (and sweet) element to this rustic salad of torn radicchio and orange segments.
  • Roasted Cherry Tomato Caprese. Just because summer tomato season is over, doesn't mean Caprese season has to be. Roasting cherry tomatoes concentrates their sweetness and makes them 100% cool-weather worthy.
  • Escarole, Pear, Parmesan, and Basil Leaf Salad. Fresh basil and pears team up for a winning combo of sweet fruit and herbal notes in this bright, crisp salad.
