Maybe you’ve had grilled chicken on your Cobb salad, but grilled avocados and romaine, too? Serve this fresh take on a classic favorite with a shower of chopped fresh chives.

Fruits and Vegetable Salads

Charred Cabbage Salad

We used Southeast Asian flavors for this showstopping salad, first coating wedges of red cabbage with oil, Thai red curry paste, and turmeric and then roasting them in the oven. The spice paste gave flavor; the roasting brought out the cabbage’s natural sweetness.

Bean and Grain Salads

Creamy Corn Farfalle Salad

Uncooked corn serves as the sauce for this recipe that comes together in a flash. Process corn to a smooth puree, adding some hot water to get it smooth. Toss with cooked pasta, adding sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes for tang and a subtle kick.

Pasta and Noodle Salads

Quinoa Taco Salad

A healthier take on taco salad, with quinoa making a surprisingly good replacement for ground beef. This salad is so hearty that it doesn’t even need tortilla chips, but if you can’t eat a taco salad without them, bring on the crunch.
