101 of Our Best Side Salads
They're on the side of your plate, but they just might steal the show.
Grilled Greens and Cheese on Toast
Pile charred Halloumi cheese, kale, and cherry tomatoes on garlicky bread for an almost-instant dinner from the grill. No bread? No problem—toss everything else together and eat it as a salad.
Cabbage Tabbouleh
This salad is crunchy, herby, cooling, and refreshing. To add some heat between bites, serve fresh green chiles for nibbling alongside.
Tomato Salad with Pine Nuts and Pomegranate Molasses
The secret weapon in this summery salad is the golden raisins: They're soaked in apple cider vinegar, which not only sweetens the vinegar but also transforms them into plump, sweet-tart balloons.
Deconstructed Falafel Salad
Get all the flavors of falafel with crispy roasted chickpeas, crunchy crouton-like pita chips, crisp cucumber, and a lemon-tahini dressing.
Taste Test: Red Wine Vinegar
Did your favorite pour its way into our hearts?
Crawfish Salad
Pile this creamy seafood salad into hot dog buns for an easy summer sandwich or serve over greens for lunch.
Weeknight Steak and Rice Noodle Salad
You can use whatever cut of steak you’re in the mood for—or even a chicken cutlet or thin-cut pork chop here.
Scrunched Cabbage Salad With Grapefruit and Chiles
Not just for slaw, cabbage is a snappy base that can handle lots of refreshing acidity—in this case from torn grapefruit and hot-and-sour chiles—without withering.
Little Wedge Salad With Sour Cream Dressing
We KonMari'd the classic wedge, got rid of all the extraneous ingredients, and ended up with a salad that sparks joy: crunchy iceberg and a rich, tangy dressing.
Ice Water Salad
Set yourself up for a stunning salad by using a mix of multicolored root vegetables, or keep it monochromatic if there’s a single standout at the market.
Everyday Greens Salad
This salad is at its most dramatic—and most delicious—with a variety of leaves, some mild and large (butter, Bibb, Little Gem), some spicy and small (like arugula).
Dinner Salad With Radicchio and Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Hard-boiled eggs, roasted sweet potatoes, and a creamy cashew dressing make this salad recipe a full meal, not a sidekick.
Skirt Steak with Spicy Coconut Dressing
This recipe is exceptionally weeknight-friendly (it goes from start to finish in less than an hour) and fully adaptable depending on the tastes of your family.
Deconstructed Chicken Caesar Salad
This go-to meal, ready in less than 20 minutes, has all the elements of a classic chicken Caesar salad—but instead of tossing them together, we celebrate each on its own.
