Looking for an easy lunch to mix up at your desk? A jar salad is our weekly go-to because you can make it in advance and everything is neatly packed up and ready to eat.
Salads
Goya Foods Chipotle Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Caper Vinaigrette
Alternatively, you can break the cauliflowers apart into bite-size florets, and toss with the vinaigrette, greens, grapes, pepitas and cotija to make a cauliflower salad.
Layered Picnic Salad with Yogurt Ranch Dressing
There is always a place in my heart for the old school bacon-and-iceberg lettuce layered salads of my childhood, but these days I am loving this healthier, more colorful, modern version
Eggplant and Walnut Pesto Pasta Salad
“Pasta salads get a bad rap but I find that the more I think of them as room temperature summer dishes and the less as mayo-slicked bowls of suspicion and dread, the more inviting they become, not only for cookouts and picnics, but (ahem) a gorgeous Tuesday night.”
Radicchio–Stone Fruit Salad
“Walnuts can get bitter if toasted too long, so remove them from the oven as soon as they turn golden brown.”
Il Forno’s Green Bean Salad
This green bean salad packs a punch full of fresh flavors! Charred green beans offer a contrasting taste against the tart marinated red onion and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and salty shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano.
The Multipurpose Shaved-Vegetable Salad
You can get away with making this foolproof salad recipe with a sharp knife, but a mandoline is the ideal tool.

The perfect party pasta salad. One of the best parts is that you will have extra vinaigrette leftover to use for salads during the week!
