Cucumber Salsa Salad
This salad, which resembles gazpacho, is a lovely, light way to begin a Mexican meal. Serve it atop lettuce leaves as a salad, or serve over rice. Alternately, use it as a sauce with fish, chicken or fajitas.
Cucumber and Israeli Couscous Salad
I love this tabbouleh-like mixture because of all the herbs and refreshing flavors, and also because of the nice contrast in textures. Make sure that you cook the couscous until the spheres are tender but not gummy. I have seen package directions that call for too little water; make sure you cook them in twice their volume of water.
Shrimp Salad With Horseradish Rémoulade
In this simple dish, winter ingredients come together in a springlike way: a composed salad of shrimp and watercress, garnished with golden beets, celery and hard-cooked egg. There’s a zippy horseradish rémoulade, spiked with fresh tarragon and dill.
Greek Black-Eyed Peas Salad
Black-eyed peas may not be part of the Greek New Year’s tradition, as they are in the American South, but this recipe still makes a great, light dish.
Warm Corn Salad With Bacon
Crunchy Burmese Ginger Salad
Many Burmese dishes carry the scents and flavors of neighboring India and China. In this salad, the dried shrimp of Yunnan, the part of China that borders Myanmar, mingle with crisped shallots, tangy lime and crunchy roasted peanuts for wild contrast and crunch.
Celery Root, Endive, Avocado And Blue Crab Salad
Spiced Shrimp Salad
Persimmon Salad with Pomegranate and Walnuts
Persimmons make a colorful cool weather salad, combined with dark red Treviso and radicchio leaves and glistening ruby-like pomegranate seeds. Walnut oil and shallots give the vinaigrette an earthy flavor, accentuated by caramelized walnuts with sea salt. You need the small apple-size Fuyu persimmons, which are delicious eaten raw. (The pointy Hachiya persimmons need to ripen to softness and are usually cooked for cakes or puddings.) Make this throughout the fall and winter. If persimmons are unavailable use pears, Asian pears or crisp tart apples.

Shaved Fennel And Parmesan Salad
Endive and Goat Cheese
Radicchio Salad With Golden Beets and Walnuts
Walnut vinaigrette is especially compatible with bitter greens like radicchio.
Oatmeal Tabbouleh
This is a good tabbouleh alternative for those of you who can’t tolerate wheat, though you must seek out a brand of steel-cut oats that has been processed in a gluten-free facility if you need to avoid gluten. Unlike traditional tabbouleh, which is a really a parsley salad with a little bit of fine bulgur, this is more of a lemony grain salad with a generous amount of parsley and other herbs. For best results, toss the soaked oats with the dressing and refrigerate overnight.
Spinach and Apples
Stir-Fried Asparagus, With Jicama
Vietnamese Grilled Duck Salad With Cucumber, Radishes and Peanuts
This zesty, cool and satisfying dish is worth making on any steamy summer night. The duck (you could use flank steak in a pinch, or for value) is marinated in a Vietnamese-inspired combination of soy sauce, lime, ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar and fish sauce. The meat is grilled over indirect heat, and the result is meat beautifully infused with the flavors of the marinade. A crunchy slaw of cucumbers, radishes and carrots strewn with herbs and roasted peanuts finishes off the dish.
