Roasted Cabbage Salad With Spice Lime Dressing

Kristina Felix via the NY Times Cooking. This salad keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, making for quick and delicious lunches during the week. Try it on leftover pasta; substitute cooked pork roast for the tempeh if you prefer, add an over-easy egg.

Marinated Kale Salad With Fruit & Nuts

From Sarah Koch of the nonprofit DIG – Development In Gardening. Her latest iteration featured pecans, apples and shaved parmesan.

Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad

From Smitten Kitchen. Skip the chicken for a vegetarian version. Consider using carrots, radishes, green onions and cucumbers, whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand.
