Salads and Dressings

I believe a good salad should be something you actively crave, not something you eat out of obligation - and these recipes are designed with that philosophy in mind. This collection moves well beyond basic lettuce and tomato combinations to showcase the incredible variety salads can offer throughout the seasons. You'll find hearty main dish salads substantial enough to serve as complete meals, side salads that complement a wide range of main courses, and special occasion salads perfect for entertaining. Many recipes include protein suggestions to make them more filling, plus make-ahead instructions that let you prep components in advance for quick assembly later. The homemade dressing section deserves special attention - these recipes prove that making your own takes just minutes and delivers flavor that store-bought varieties simply can't match. I've organized salads by season to help you make the most of produce at its peak, with emphasis on contrasting textures and balanced flavors in every bowl. Whether you're looking for light, refreshing options for warm weather, heartier combinations for cooler months, or meal-prep friendly recipes that hold up well for days in the refrigerator, these salads transform simple ingredients into satisfying meals that happen to be good for you too.
