It's also a good vehicle for leftover grilled vegetables--like eggplant, zucchini, or mushrooms--or for hard boiled eggs or anchovies. When tomatoes aren't in season, try the dried fruit…

So colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet…

Bulgur and Bean Salad by Salad Foodie

Bulgur is classified as a whole grain and makes a healthy and satisfying vegetarian meal or a side to grilled meats. We like the light nutty flavor it lends to recipes.

Smashed Potato Salad with Escarole by Mark Bittman

The key to success here is to be generous with the olive oil, whose flavor takes mere potato and greens--whether escarole or any other strong-flavored green like radicchio, dandelion, endive, or chicory--from humble to sublime. This is perfect picnic food, with or without meat, cheese, or eggs (see variations).
