Grilled Radicchio and Knob Onion Salad

Radicchio is a perfect example that grilling can make just about anything better. The sharp bitterness usually wreaks havoc on my taste buds, but once grilled, I found it very pleasing. It came together in a salad that was a sea of textures and tastes: grilled knob onions, lettuce, and a sherry-mustard vinaigrette.

Sourdough Anchovy Croutons

Turn your leftover sourdough bread into crispy, savory croutons for salads, snacking, and more.

Broccoli Salad With Radicchio, Basil, and Pistachios

The secret to the success of this broccoli salad is that it handles the florets and stems differently. The florets are blanched briefly, just long enough to soften them and make them juicy, while still preserving their crisp, fresh bite. The stems, meanwhile, are left raw, for a refreshing crunch. Tossed with radicchio and a bold vinaigrette made from basil and pistachios, this is a salad to make you love all the parts of broccoli.

5-Minute Radicchio and Watercress Salad

This quick and easy salad of hearty, peppery greens is the perfect side dish for a weeknight supper.

Winter Greens Salad With Flax Seeds, Shaved Beets, and Radishes

Slicing beets paper-thin with a mandoline is much faster than roasting. Tossed with a simple vinaigrette, their natural sweetness compliments bitter, hearty winter greens like endive, frisée, and radicchio. Some shaved parmesan, radishes, and toasted flax seeds finish this simple salad off.

Kale, Apple, and Pancetta Salad

With slightly bitter kale and radicchio, crispy-salty pancetta, tart apples and sweet maple syrup, this hearty winter salad hits all the right taste buttons. It's also just a beautiful salad. Be sure your apples aren't too sour, especially if using Granny Smith—you'll need a little sweetness to balance out the tartness of the vinaigrette.

Winter Greens Salad With Fennel, Citrus, and Creamy Citrus Vinaigrette

This easy winter salad with bitter greens, shaved fennel, citrus, and a sweet and creamy citrus vinaigrette would do equally well with a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish for a larger feast.

Kale Caesar Salad

The key to a great kale Caesar salad is to marinate the kale in olive oil while you prepare the dressing and croutons. Oil breaks down the tough leaves, turning them tender-crisp.
