Salads recipes

Salads built around seasonal produce, from crisp fall plates to light cucumber and tomato bowls. Many lean on roasted squash, sweet potato, apples, pears and pomegranate, paired with kale, spinach or Brussels sprouts and finished with goat cheese, feta, blue cheese or toasted pumpkin seeds.

Hearty options like wheat berry, orzo and quinoa salads hold up well for meal prep, while Crunchy Chicken and Mango Salad or Avocado Chicken Salad work as a full lunch. Quick ones, such as Greek Cucumber Salad, take about 10 minutes. For gatherings, look for recipes sized for 6 servings or those labeled for Thanksgiving. Check the time in each title to match your evening, and dress sturdy greens like kale ahead of serving.
