California Steak Salad 2

This salad is ideal for cold grilled steak, as reheating may overcook the meat or cause the basil and arugula to wilt. Grilling the red onion adds another layer of char and a bit of sweetness to counter the tartness of the vinaigrette.   Ingredients Cooking spray 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices […]

Arugula, Egg, and Charred Asparagus Salad 2

Just a hint of char on the asparagus adds fantastic complexity to this simple 5-ingredient spring salad. Look for medium stalks rather than pencil-thin ones—those would char and dry out too quickly. A soft-boiled egg adds protein and richness; let the slightly runny yolks mingle with the rest of the salad before enjoying. Whole-milk Greek […]

Fresh Pea, Prosciutto, and Herb Salad 11

We love the green-on-green mix of crisp-tender haricots verts, peas, and protein-packed edamame. You could sub asparagus or regular green beans for the haricots verts, just remember they may need a minute longer to boil. Instead of tossing in the tomatoes (which would weigh down the delicate arugula mixture), we build the salad on top […]
